These little things are without doubt the cheapest products we’ve ever shown but totally necessary. Just squash them, insert into your ear, and as they expand they’ll adapt to any shape or size of ear canal, reducing noise by 35db. They’re also non-irritating, extra soft and have a tapered shape – sweet.

They come in many different coloured receptacles, which as you can see contain four of them.

Bradley Smith uses the same ones in Moto GP to calm the noise of his screaming Yamaha, which is cool. But you can also use them to block out moaning kids and wives/husbands.

If you think you’ve seen these before you’re correct, well sort of, because the earlier version was called the Thor 50/50 boot. So unless you’re Forest Gump with Alzheimer’s you’ll realize that these are the next generation for 2014.

The Thor Blitz LS is primarily an adventure bike style of boot that protects as far as the ankle, which makes them supremely comfortable and flexible for daily use. They’re easy and quick to get into with a simple double ‘ski boot’ buckle system that even Forest Gump with frostbite could operate.

Super tough, super cool and they carry the name of a Norse God, what more could one ask for?

Without doubt, to us, the best looking motorcycles are the naked/street fighter style machines, but they can become a little tiring at high speeds due to the lack of wind protection, right?

Well here are three of our favourite new models with the latest Puig screens fitted, which are so cool to look at and fit so perfectly that they could have been installed at the factory.

You don’t have to be a ‘chin-dribbler’ to know these bikes are the latest Kawasaki Z1000, BMW S1000R and Yamaha MT-09. So if you own either you might just want one of these Puig offerings, we think?

There are many after market filters around but the ‘original’ has to be the household brand name of K&N. Nothing new there, but how many of the ‘others’ still produce air filters for old classic Japanese bikes, er, not many?

These beauties fit the 1976 Suzuki GS750 (remember those), and the Kawasaki Z900 range. One million mile warranty, washable, reusable, improved flow and therefore more power and acceleration. What more could one ask for your rebuilt classic? Not cheap but horrendously gorgeous.

However, the most famous K&N of all is the one Geordi La Forge has on his face in Star Trek Next Generation, which has a million light year warranty but cannot be bought – shame.
