INNER BAGS

[seniorminnion]

just ordered another set --- small this time !!  ( will keep the bigger ones though - come in handy for something !  - good quality too for less than a fiver each ! )

This site is becoming the best I have been on.  Diverse, not (too) PC - everyone seems to know the line in sand, and busy - Not lost to FaceBook - Hurrah 

Yeah the IAM /Advanced Bike forum I WAS on has suffered a huge amount of abuse, nastiness, personal insults, back biting and little 'sub groups' forming. I have now left.

Would you believe it.... there are even examples of thread hijacking.

LOL - It the real world that's just the way a conversation goes!

Do they still have these bags in the shops or are they just mail order?

It would be prudent to phone and ask first, but if you order them on line they will send them carriage free. Total cost to you will be just over 8 sqid. How do they do it for that price? I despatch stuff from work with TNT and Tuffnells and they charge us a minimum of 5 sqid for each parcel so how the hell HG are selling these bags and delivering them for less than 9 sqid is beyond me. Anyhow we are not bothered about that, when faced with such a bargain just fill yer boots.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Then when the bags arrive fill them as well.     Oh yes I have ordered some for myself, and decided on small. : :As we say up Norf !!!!!What a gud do.

The postage is an overhead just like paying sales staff and appears in their books as cost of sales.
I bet especially in winter they have days when they don't sell enough in some shops to cover the wages too.
After all HG started out in Germany as a mail order business, the shops came much later.

I hope  i'm wrong, but I can see HG going down the tubes sometime soon.

I hope that you are wrong too, as I've always found them to be very helpful, well the Preston brancah are anyway

BTW they are a kind of franchised establishment with staff at branches being partners in the business.

That would be a shame since I really like their gear. Good quality and reasonably priced.
I prefer to think it's a stock clearance sale to make room for the 2012 lines since discount applies only to HG branded stock.
But then you never know these days.

My 2nd order just arrived. One large inner bag, which looks about perfect for the large Givi top box.
2 ratchet straps  and a shrink wrap tube kit. ALL delivered for under £17!!
I just cannot see how they made any money out of that transaction. But I hope they are not in trouble.

the more I look at those bags - the more I think they are an absolute bargain   

[cpettifer]

My bags haven't arrived yet, ordered em last week I think. Will check if there's some kind of order status page! :)

[Ubertours]

Offer has been extended for another week because of the weather!!!

[O.C.]

They must have had plenty stock ...judging by the amount of orders going in from this forum
