ALDI Bike Gear / New Range

[Mishdog20]

Alright Lads, I just back from ALDI and it looks like they are having another round of Bike Gear. This round according to there catalogue has got a few different varities of Bike Stands / a cover / loading ramps and tie downs. The one item that caught my eye is the Motorcycle Transport Stand which is $70 bucks. Might be worth a look. Here is the link to the newest catalogue.

My misses is a manager at aldi , get in quick it usally moves quick. The transport stand not to bad (had a look over one already) but could do with a additional angle on the top/front. cheap for what they are though. Helmets seem ok for a cheapy.

Not normaly a fan of Aldi gear, but .........

Called in this morning and grabed an Aluminium Ramp,
a Paddock Stand and a Transport Stand.

Quality isnt as bad as I expected.
Put the Busa up on the 2 stands and its very solid.
Certainly bottom end of the market but if your on a budget
or just want them as spares / back up's they're not bad.

The paddock stand came with wide and narrow main sections
and 3 different types of pick-up's.

The Transport stand seems OK and came with extra bolts to
fit it to a ute or trailer. (works fine on garage floor though)

Ramps only rated at 200kg but I jumped up and down on it
and it seemed pretty solid.

[BANDITROD]

me too my mate was in there and grabbed me 2 of the transport stands pretty good for the money

i went there.

[bladehunter]

I got a stand as well, came just at the right time as I need to do a front wheel swap on the monster. Got there at opening time I reckon they would have sold out in 15 minutes.

[Jockney Rebel]

i paid 150 bucks for those verysame stands 2 years ago and their still bolted to the trailer good gear ...pity i saw this too late cos i need a newjacket

[jakam04]

I'm hanging out to relocate back to civilization where I can go get these items instead of paying premium prices and ridiculous shipping prices to NT.

Some courier companies drive through Katherine to get to Darwin, but because there isn't a depot, you have to drive to Darwin to collect it....

[Jockney Rebel]

sadlyno aldis in gladstone ..so ill have to buy a new jacket from ebay lol

[Redmohawk]

Just a heads up on the aldi "Kevlar" jeans guys , Seems they may not have "Kevlar by Dupont" in them take a look at this (off FB apparent 40 km/h off caused this damage)

[EVLZX]

How much were the jeans?

I thought those jackets were a bit sus too (leather I think) they had them listed as having ce rating, whilst this is common on armour it's a rarity on the jacket

[EVLZX]

What do you expect, they used a yamaha for the shoot

[Gix11]

That photo has a knee slider under the hole. I'd say he has given it a serious work out. Not saying they are any good (you get what you pay for), but I don't think a knee slider under the jeans and one contact point for 50+ metres would work out very well for any of the kevlar jeans brands would it?

[latheboy]

Don't you wear jeans over your Leathers Si, it's what all the kool kids are doing these days....

[yoda]

I got that pic emailed to me too, apparently it was a real world accident(not a test) at about 40kph..
I wouldnt wear them!

[Redmohawk]

If its was 3 layers of "Dupont kevlar" it should have held up to a 40 km/h slide , my plain 12 oz jeans held up better at a lot more when I was sliding (on my knees) through a cross road at considerably more than 40. Still have the scar on my right knee.

[nemo]

Whats the problem, the leg looks like its still alive.... probably not even a trophy scar on the knee...
Just dont fall off your bike and youll be fine ;)
