I've been looking around at new boots, but they're so bloody expensive for the amount of time I would be spending in them :crazy:

If anyone is selling or thinking about selling a pair of boots - preferably the race type ones like Sidi, Alpinestars etc about a size 10.5 - 11 please PM me.

Thanks

Keep an eye out on trademe, Shannon.

I got a pair of Sidis with no toe sliders (yeah right, like I'm gonna need them) for $35.

How's that bike of yours? Time for an update on the fix-up!

Thanks for the tip mate ;)

I have been looking on there, but there's not been much in my size. One guy has some sidi's in my size but he pretty much wants retail for them at the moment.

The ZXR is back on the road, and insured again, but I need a front disc to get the whole lot fully sorted again. at the moment it's got the front end off my other ZXR on it, which looks a bit funny (white wheel on the front, black on the back, blue guard on a grey bike..) and the brakes don't feel quite right.

Once I have the front end sorted, I'll be doing an engine swap, then she'll be 100% again (apart from the scratched up and cracked fairings)

By the way, I just remembered I also need a front guard for the same bike if anyone can help :crybaby:

you DO get what you pay for. I have two pairs $160-cheapest $450-Sidi Race. cheap are comfortable and flexible, but you might as well buy sandshoes from the warehouse. Sidi's are just SOOOOO nice to ride in :)
