A box of goodies from DMC - Doncaster Motorcycles.

I ordered a hoodie from them but they've sent me some other freebies as well.

Technically not postman but I came away from Halfords with my click & collect order today:

Karcher K2 Full Control Car Kit
Karcher K2 Ultra Foam (Free)
Halfords Advanced Ratchet Axle Stands
and a couple of half price car air fresheners - Blue Berry & Bubblegum ;)

All in I paid £90.

The perks of a "blue light" discount and £25 love2shop voucher from work

Is there much of PB in it?

Hopefully mine turns up today or tomorrow as you usually seem to get yours first. What is weird is the printed version always arrives before the digital copy which doesn't have 2 days of delivery time, so doesn't make sense to me (wasntme)

There's a decent amount. But the rest isn't for me. I'll give it a couple of months.

A set of DP Brakes Sport pads for the GT, Just arrived which surprised me as I only ordered them yesterday and didn't pay for the express delivery.



EDIT
There's a small review of these DP pads in the mag near the back, they rated them 7/10 because despite performing faultlessly on the project blade they were easily damaged when fitting the calipers to the discs...
I wonder if those saw tooth brake discs had anything to do with that?

17mm 1/2" Drive Hex bit (y)

Only bit not in my set (gah) and essential for charging the front wheel on a D675.

I've got one of those 17/19/22/24mm hex bits - I only use the 17mm (I think) but it's super useful

My adapter was only 3 steps, 19/22/24 and my individual socket ones only went up to 14mm.

Got the full set now so all sorted (y)

Had to borrow the tyre fitters bit to get my tyres done whilst I sorted my own 17 hex bit as no local shops had them in stock.
