New summer jacket, very happy, can feel the air going through it just walking about and yet feels nice a protective and has the exact same armour in it as my leather jacket.

I can see 2 things wrong with it, 1 - there's only 1 wheel and 2 - the crack....was it to make a table out of it?!

Are you making a table or commissioning one? Great idea.

2 Moto GP tickets for Silverstone. Father and son weekend. Have booked a couple of rooms in a house share for the weekend, dead cheap approx 50quid per room considering GP is on. When I was looking a few month back everything was 150quid plus for a room so was lucky to find this one. Looking forward to it now

They are really good DeeGee, we just got Minitroll one, hes 2 and loves it, although we went for one of their metal framed ones, still kiddimoto, but simply because it was on sale (rossi rep one), but hes already pretty good on it. Many happy returns to mini-mini gee for a week or so!

Thanks for that CT, we bought (and still have!) MiniGee one of these back when Kiddimoto was a one man band, it was one of his favourite toys ever. It made a huge difference when it came to a proper pushbike, like you I’d definitely recommend it to other parents (and Grandparents!) ;)

A USB charging socket for the bike.

Tomorrow should hopefully bring a waterproof mount for the phone.

A pair of fancy "Ear Piece" re-usable ear plugs, they have interchangeable filters to vary the sound they let through so should keep the wind noise out and let me hear the bike, the foam ones don't always seal properly so I thought these were worth a shot.
