Sell one of your bikes! Or rob someone of 90 dollars, problem solved! (Don't really do these things)

(i bought it as a "salvage with no title" then restored it) I've got about $1400 tied up in it and would like to sell it, but may just try the long road of applying for a salvage title... no guarantees there. It would make a GREAT track bike if anyone is looking! Shoooooot. If I could sell it here, I would buy TWO pair of boots and give one pair away here free |

If you try to sell it, someone, somewhere will try to buy it. It's just a matter of when.

has your crash caused you to rethink the material? maybe if you fill the pvc with expanding foam like a birds wing. or better yet, just use gum.

When Brian and I get together we tend to come up with some incredibly impossible ideas for things that will probably never happen. I still need to carve a shotgun cane that dispenses percocet when you cock it and turn one of my spare modular helmets into a storm trooper helmet to go with that storm trooper motorcycle suit. Oh yeah, I'm also going to make a 250 that drives into a jet ski and powers it. So you just ride your bike onto the jetski, lock it in and power it, gna be awesome. Oh and then a motorcycle plane. Yea its got wings and propellers and everything and you drive off to gain speed then switch engine power to the propellers and take off. Good ****, good ****...

I don't smoke weed but my brother grows it and my other brother smokes it every day. It's possible the fumes have seeped through my wall and deeply burrowed into my brain

Come on guys, you all know tennis shoes are the best bet for riding, See when you get in a wreck they fly off your feet saving you from having to buy a new pair of shoes! I mean you have a sweet pair of jordens on to impress the ladies on your bike you cant have those getting messed up. I look at it as saving money.

people look at a boot and think "yeah that'll protect me"... but i'm wondering what they think it will protect them from? picture tipping your bike over at a stand still. big thud. ok now put your foot under it and drop it again. ok now add 60mph asphalt underneath. if you still think the boot will protect you then its probably a good bood. most of the low-end "motorcycle shoes" you see are little more then sneakers with toe pads

I don't get these threads. Have you ever worn race boots? I wear the same boots Rossi does and they are perfectly comfortable. I wear them everywhere and have walked hours in them. Under jeans they look normal even with the steel slider. I can walk fine in them and don't look wierd walking either. Although I'm in the military and used to wearing boots 12+ hours a day. Man up.

Wearing these.
http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Detail.bok?no=9023 They do have a hinge at the ankle though, probably makes walking easier. |

Ahh, see I think part of the difference between what some of us (for me Sidi ST's) and boots like those is they don't have as much armor in the shin/calf/above the ankle as it is designed to be incorporated with the shin/calf/above the ankle armor that many suits (Dainese in particular) have. My Hein Gericke suit doesn't have shin armor, and as such the boots take place. As a result, the hard parts seem to make it more difficult to walk. On top of that, the toebox can be kind of uncomfortable after a while.

I saw that! But that's all there is, you see? It's a CF brace with some rear support on the calf. On the something like the ST or even the other Dainese 'Out' boots, there is tons of plastic on top of pretty thick leather surrounding the calf area. Part of this is because the boots are designed as more of an exoskeleton.
See the ST Personally, it is not the brace itself that makes the boot uncomfortable to walk in, but instead the remaining bulk surrounding the calf. The brace spans out to more plastic that wraps around and the calf, and then of course there is the shin and the remaining bulk of leather/Lorica beneath it all. Like I said before, perhaps some peoples feet and their boots get along better than those of us who are looking for other solutions. |

Yeah, out boots are pretty crazy and I could imagine quite a bit more restrictive. I find all that extra plastic a bit overkill. My boots underneath my leathers provide extensive protection as is.

I'm wearing these and they are super comfy and light. Work great as every day shoes as well. They have good protection on the side of the food and ankle. |

I got these Dainese...
http://www.cyclegear.com/eng/product...ots/web1001654 They are very comfy and offer lots of protection. But they squeak when I walk. Haha. I need to spray some WD40 on the ankle joint thingy. I still occasionally wear tennis shoes but when I do my feet feel very exposed. I don't like it. |

I'm digging these. Not really in my ideal price range at the moment, but I'd consider them in the not-so-distant future. |
