Spoke to a guy selling sheepskin rugs etc as i was looking at a seat cover for next year. Prices have gone very high for full hides and he quoted £49 for a 3" length full skin, saying that 98% of world production is currently being bought by China.
Just thought you guys might want to jump on the shearers wagon, and get your hands or RRRses warm whilst stocks last. I managed to get a £10 discount for a red/black one (matches my bike) and he has a few left. If its true, the main importer has just received the last container of this particular skin type. After taht none will be imported.

Re: Sheep skins
Get them from a cheap shop for around £9.99 or even slightly cheaper or if you want the proper stuff speak to your local butcher for not much more, you will have enough for roughly two seats then
