Oh no, you've recommended something from Decathlon, you'll bring the wrath of GRF down on you!

Cheers Stu, but for two hundred quid more I'll avoid being seen on anything that sounds remotely like the ill-fated 'V-Twin', I don't think my dignity could take that... (not in combination with a new Solo in a month's time)

Decathlon are the closest thing to legalised counterfeiting ever to trade.

And they are French.

So if it's cheese and white cloth you're after and/or someone else's intellectual property knocked off and knocked down, then go ahead, but just don't wear, ride, copulate with it near me..
