Mr Scumdog's excellent suggestion. And I've tracked 'em down . The shop in Hobson St seems to have turned into a camping shop. But I found them at Kiwi Disposals in K Rd. Left hand side between Pitt St and Newton Rd. Opposite the big billboard featuring the chick with big naked tits. You can't miss them.

Just as Mr Scumdog said. Leather, buckles, little strap under foot, and a sort of curved bit to fit over the top of the boot like a spat. $12.50 and a bargain at the price.

Now, a big tin of dubbin and I'll be set.
Excellent suggestion. But, they didn't have many left (obviously very popular, understandable) So you'll have to get in quick.

I already have the pith helmet (genuine, well worn and VERY USEFUL. Came from the last genuine pith helmet shop in Singapore, in Middle Road, just before they bowled all the old shophouses). Umbrella I have also (bungee corded to the frame of the BMW - also very useful. I reccomend all bikers should carry an umbrella) . Swagger stick I can't figure out how to use while riding.

Would be a laugh for those around you, watching you 'encouraging' every ounce out of Dobbin :rofl:

I had a half-pithed helmet once.
Very useful it was too, for those "tired and emotional" moments.

This is what they look like off. And how they look with boots

EDIT. Stupid image types. Uploaded images now. These ones are lace up , mine have straps and buckles - like Mr Scumdog's

Worn with the jodpers I presume? And a riding crop.....I won't even ask about the mustache.....


The gaiters are kinda interesting Ixion....but I was wondering about spats...??

Good one, keep us informed as to how well they do the required job, no complaints about mine yet.

they look the same as the ones we have for parade, a bit of spit polishing will get them nice and shiny! and waterproof to boot
