Last week’s bargains

One of the pleasures of owning a motorcycle is how hands on you can get with it when not actually riding. Whether you’re into full engine rebuilds or draw the line at adjusting chain tension, toddling off to the shed can keep you busy if the weather’s not on side and give you a focus rather than aimlessly scrolling on your phone.

I’ve always got a project on the go, not least because it gives me a break from thinking about work, or the doom and gloom of current affairs. I stick on some music, break out the spanners and lose myself for an hour or two, surfacing only to freshen up my brew. Working on your own bikes can be challenging at times, but it’s unerringly cathartic and ultimately a rewarding way to spend time.

This week my regular dive amongst bike related deals on the web has revealed a bounty of tools and equipment worth investing in, plus some cracking offers on tyres.
