I have been a naughty boy

[Sossige]

Following on from my post about the HG discount, I remembered a bike shop closer to my home that I bought Accumate accessories from years ago, so I popped in there again this morning.

I explained that I am just starting out and would be looking to buy all the kit I need over the coming months, but at the moment I was just after some boots. Reason I decided for this was that my stout walking boots proved unsuitable at my first CBT and I didn't want to use trainers again

The shop I went to (thanks BykeBitz in Yateley for the great service, especially Gareth for all his help) have a relationship with the riding school I am now booked up with, so I got a 10% discount as a result. Here's my new boots:







I feel like John Wayne when wearing them - going to wear them around the house to "break them in" a little.

Great boots, got a pair myself.

Nice boots, like the image of you walking round the house in them as it reminds me of me in my new leathers watching tv doing the same;

Thanks guys, have to say that BykeBitz were of great help. It was a "toss up" between the "Vertigo" and the Sidi "Black Rain" boots, but I decided that the Vertigos felt stronger, plus I don't expect to be needing the full on waterproof nature of the Black Rains.

Nice boots, and IMHO better aesthetically than others that have been posted on here recently. (But then, what do I know? )

But, as my 12 year old step daughter keeps pointing out to me, I know nothing about fashion!

Those are better!

To be honest, I haven't worn the Supertechs yet as they'll get dirty.

Flame away

Textiles = short boots
Leathers = supertechs

That's how it works

[RemaL]

How long did it take to "break them in" Dave?

Cheers!

Go outside and jump on some badgers. That'll do it.

But all bikers are chavs, you know! It's a fact, someone on the Internet said it was.
