May 20: Bigger black boots

My bike boots, Sidi Black Rain Evos. Supposed to be waterproof, but mine leak. Not much, but enough to be annoying. I never ride without ankle protection. Or without gloves. Makes me wince when I see people out on bikes wearing trainers and no gloves. No brain either. Not many more shoes to go :-)


other sizes: small medium original auto

I would not mess with you if you were wearing these boots.

Love this photo. The coloring and composition are great. Looks like an ad.

Pat's Sidi boots leak like a sieve, too - but he says they don't pretend to be waterproof!

Agree re: improper motorcycling gear - here's the choice: shredded skin and muscle from sliding on an arm 100 metres down a road, intensely painful surgery to remove the gravel, risk of infection; or heavily scuffed leathers and bruised pride. Oh, and maybe a duff bike...anyone for a heavily soiled 6R?!

Like the photo, BTW!

You are doing great Imelda. Great boots. Excellent photograph.
And re protection, my nurse friends tell me all about the scrambled brains etc they scrape up after a wreck.
