The other thing about SMX+ boots is the titanium piece scrapes the paint off swingarms.

Let it go,man! I've had SMX+ boots for 5 or 6 years (maybe more) and I have never noticed any "scraping" on the 3 bikes I've worn them on. Now of course they were 3 GSXRs so Besides,I don't have a Ti piece on the instep of the boot.

Meh, I never even heard of a helmet mohawk. One day I'll learn to keep my mouth shut so I don't look like a jackass. One day..

I guess it all depends on the shape of the swingarm, the size of your feet, and how you ride. They sure scraped the swingarm of my 05 R6. I ride with the ball of my feet on the pegs, and my ankle pressed up against the bike, so yeah they're gonna rub.

I took a ride to a local bicycle store, wearing all my gear. As I was walking out, a little girl and her mother were walking in.

The little girl said to her mom, "Mommy, does he have to wear all that stuff on his motorcycle?"

Mom said, "No, but it's the smart thing to do."

I thought that was pretty cool.
