Classic bikes can sneak into all aspects of your life, even where you really don't expect them. Now you can have one roaring around your desk, thanks to the RealClassic MouseMat...

Right. We're within a sniff of Christmas, which means you're going to have to endure the suggestion that every single item we consider for a while might make the perfect Crimbo gift. (For a truly interactive experience, if you happen to be reading this in April or August, you'll simply have to mentally convert the word 'Christmas' to the appropriate festival of choice for your season. Consider it a little bit of mental limbo which will keep your synapses firing on top form). And so, may we suggest that if you're wondering what to give your fellow old bike fans for Christmas (or whenever...) then the RealClassic MouseMat will roundly fit the bill.

However, the RealClassic MouseMat is not just for Christmas. No! The RealClassic MouseMat is for life ... the life of the mat, obviously. Not your expected life. It won't last that long. Even though the RealClassic MouseMat is high quality kit and has a mark-resistant surface, three score and ten might be pushing it a little, especially after a couple of coffee spills and the cat's muddy paws trotting all over it. Hmm. Perhaps you'd best order two, so that you've got a reserve?

After all, it's only right that a computer-based magazine should have some computer-based accessories. Park our mouse-mat next to your keyboard and you'll be able to gaze upon the triple-hearted, thundering glory of a Triumph Hurricane being ridden at full rasp. You can even see the gleam and glint of sparkling sunlight reflecting from the chrome tailpiece and the (amazingly) shiny engine cases. You might not be able to hop onto the RealClassic site right away and read the day's feature, but you can at least glance down and be reminded of what it's all about. Listen carefully and you'll almost hear the clatter of the chattering top end (or maybe it's the hum of your hard drive. Who knows?).

No desk, or workstation, or computer table, or rickety old cabinet with a computer balanced on the top of it is truly complete without a RealClassic MouseMat. Go on -doesn't your poor old mouse deserve a treat? And if you've got a computer at the office and another at home... well then, you'll need a matching pair!

--intermission--

RealMart would probably like us to mention at this point that the RealClassic MouseMat is entirely ambidextrous and is suitable for use by left-handed people. Ms H suggests that it can only help slimming as part of a calorie-controlled diet, while TP wants you to know that melted chocolate can be wiped off its surface with a damp cloth. FW, on the other hand, is just grateful that it spells out the RealClassic web-address in large friendly letters, because he's getting pretty absent-minded these days...

--and now back to the main feature--

So. Don't you know someone who'd benefit from having a RealClassic MouseMat on their desk? Of course you do! And if your order arrives with us by December 15th, then we'll make sure your MouseMat reaches its UK destination in time for Christmas.

How Much Does It Cost?

A single RealClassic MouseMat costs £5, plus £1.50 delivery to the UK and EU, or £3 airmail to the rest of the world.

However, we know you'll probably want to order one for yourself and give a second RealClassic MouseMat to a friend, so we figured out a special deal. Buy two or three RealClassic MouseMats, and have them sent to one address, and you only pay for one delivery charge! (OK, so it's not quite cash and carry, but it works for us and it gives you a jolly good reason to spend more money. Ahem. And of course, all profits will be put to good use running the RealClassic site).

And if you buy five (FIVE! Well, yes; one for all the chaps at the club, see...) and have them sent to one address, then you don't have to pay the delivery charge at all.

Sorry: All sold out!

Say hello to RealMouse.
