Ma ol' boots.
Me b'day last week landed me a nice pair of Sidi boots. Which means I have two, but can only wear one. So I might as well help out someone who has none. So I'm giving them away (my old boots, not the Sidi's, sorry)

It really gets me when I see people riding around with a lack of gear, trainers, jeans etc. When you come off that once, it'll fuckin hurt. The sooner you get some decent gear the better. So if I can help just one person that bit closer, then great.

So who qualifies? Who ever is riding in trainers.

Size 10 (large 10) moulded to my feet. I bought them new about 2 and a half years ago. Not water proof, but they last a while until the water finds a way in. Just put a new coat of SnoSeal on there, so that'll help a bit. Only bit of damage is where the gear lever rubs on the toe on the click-up (pictured), aside from that, they're just loved. They do not have any amour on them, just all leather. If I didn't have ma new boots, then I'd still be wearing these, so they are utterly fine, not bad at all. But it's not really something you can sell on TradeMe etc, and if I can do some good from them, I'd rather do that.

Will happily drop around Auckland, or can pick up, or will pay half the shipping if out of Auckland..

PM me, or say below. First in, first 'ave 'em... If I've missed anything, or wanna ask, then shout. If you want to try them on first, then just shout and we can arrange something.

Conditions: YOU CANNOT SELL THESE BOOTS. Under no circumstances. I'm not havin anyone make money off my ass. That's what K'rd is for.. If you get these boots, then a month later you buy some better ones or whatever, then pass them on or pass them back.
Respect them. They've done me well thru many bikes, and have a lot of life left in them. Like the rest of your gear - you look after it, it'll look after you. Please make sure of it.
Please be honest too. If you BS me and the next guy really does need them, I ain't gonna be impressed.

Really, I feel bad. I want a hundred pairs to give away, but I don't. k, who wants 'em?

I would... but they are too small.

I'll take'em mate. Need me a pair of real motorcycle boots.
I wear a 10 and 1/2 western style boot. Not sure what size biker boot would fit but if these don't I'll pass them on to someone else.

Might, from what I can tell motorcycle boots arn't measured the same way as my boots.
If not I'll just post it in here and someone else can have 'em.

WL, we'll arrange to catch up if you want, or measure your foot and pm me, and then i could check before either of us have to travel...

**deathstar** · 4th July 2005, 21:41

if they don't fit size 10 is perfect for me and i am just starting out biking so anything given will be put to very good use

**bugjuice** · 4th July 2005, 22:08

I'll keep you all posted. As I said, and to be fair, first in, first serve. If they don't fit WL here, then Mr Deathstar, you've got next dibs.. welcome btw

**deathstar** · 4th July 2005, 22:34

cheers bug shall keep my eye on the thread and can't wait to get out on the nz roads, over here in the uk can't got 50 feet without someone trying to knock you off

That's bloody great of you to offer these boots for free. When I was learning to ride I was lent a pair of leather riding trousers which I really appreciated. I ended up buying them off the woman they belonged to (for a pittance, she wouldn't take any more!) and I never forgot her generosity.

Unfortunately I can't pass on any of my gear because a) I'm still using it all, and b) I'm 5'1", take a 37 in boots and an XXS in helmets so I'd need to find another littlie!
