You gotta get a proper bike to ride first.

I will when I can but Rogue wasn't really kidding... one of the guys i work with has some of them and we swapped bikes one day. When we stopped, he couldn't put the kickstand down because of the boots So I won't ride on my bike with them, I need to borrow someone's sportbike to try them out.

Did you find a deal on them anywhere? I'm strongly considering these.

I work at a dealership so I get an employee discount, so yeah.



They are awesome boots. Both the techs here wear them, one was a WERA racer and has had multiple crashes with the SMX Plus and said they hold up better than any other boot he's worn, never a foot injury with these on. He said Sidi's are nice too but they tend to wear out way faster. The other tech does lots of track days and he highly recommended the SMX Plus too.
