Money sinks which aren't too deep

Just a heads up to the avid consumers among you,

Aldi have their motorcycle gear in stock again. Having looked through it all none of it really excites me, EXCEPT the tank bags, which are certifiably awesome and awesomely cheap. It's been about a year now that I've had mine, and it has not fallen apart at all - including the inbuilt rain cover and assorted straps -, has shown no sign of fading or other wear or tear. Its assortment of pockets and ziptogether options are as good as any, it functions as a backpack/regular bag, has an additional hightening compartment which can function as a separate shoulder-bag - all sections of which (plus a separate base) have a clear top for the maps... Head to Aldi with $60 in your wallet and get one. (Yes it's $10 more exxy than last year.)

Deus have a decent range of older/winter stock going quite cheaply at the moment. You thought USydMC club shirts were the only wearable Ts you can get for $5!? - you're right, because the Deus ones are a horrible yellow (but they are $5, and they do have a Deus tag).

Of course, you could pay $99.95 for new-season boardshorts (minus 10%? for a USydMC discount perhaps), but I know none of you are that trendy.
