    I got short boots. Really comfortable. Cover. Helmet. Socks. Paddock stand, gloves, balaclava. I'm really happy with all of it.

    I think some of their stuff is pretty crap, some of the electrical lines especially, but some stuff is great. As good as the brands, but way better value. Hang on, I think I've been sloganified

    I scored 2 x ramps and that green/grey stuff for unders leathers with socks and some more gloves which are better than last years... i still have the leather jacket from last year but this years looks better. Iam however no longer riding on road and am just track ratting so didnt but the leather jacket nor the jeans which i would have been all over.

    I may still get a stand maybe if they run em off cheap.. would have been tempted with the headset too but no point on track

    I bought the matte black helmet this year. So much better than my previous HJC with the quick lock strap and sunglass visor insert.

    I must have lost the chin curtain on my way down the coast on Monday. after a toilet stop i noticed a lot of wind on my face.

    Looked around ebay and tried to make my own. wore a scarf yesterday (too hot)

    Found the warranty card just now and called the number. She's sending me a full set of inserts out for free. No questions asked just took my name and address and sending today. I was on the phone for under 1 minute!

    amazing customer service <3

    ok so the inserts arrived. as i thought may happen, they were the cheek pads, not the chin curtain. ..

    i looked around on ebay again, went for another cold faced ride. i can use a scarf but its just a hassle, specially in warmer weather.

    i put off calling back the same girl but really wanted a chin curtain and thought, can't hurt to try

    she said. 'well we don't have those separately, so i'll just send you the full helmet, if i have your size'

    she had my size. it arrives monday. the only other question was, were can it be left if i'm not home.

    flabbergasted. 2 thumbs up

    Is it Auspost? ... tell them to leave it at the post office ..... or if its a courier it has to come thru a freight depot ... ask them to keep it there and you will pick it up

    Aldi had Spray gun's out last week for $24.99ea, suction feed or gravity feed
    I was in there stocking up the pantry yesterday and they still had some left and they had been marked down to $14.99ea so i bought 2 as spare's

    These gravity fed gun's are easy to convert to HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) Gun's just by adding a small regulator in between the gun and airline fitting
    That way you can adjust the incoming air down to around 80psi, and then adjust the gun's regulator down to around 30 psi and it will get about 30% more paint onto the part you're painting and less over spray everywhere else


    Regulator off ebay $7.50 inc delivery

    A little late, I know. ABS melts enough to be extruded through a 3D printer from about 200°C, although I'm pretty sure my 3Doodler runs it a lot hotter - around 230°C -250°C from memory. Waxes have a melting point of anywhere from 37°C to 250°C depending on type, so I guess it would depend on the type of wax included with the kit, unfortunately.

    How's that for a non-answer, @my67xr? :lolsign:
