    Woot. I got 'em. Gaiters!

    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.

    Did you also get the optional extras? Umbrella, pith helmet & swaggerstick?
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Does it matter? After all, he'll only be wearing them in association with the other SM gear in the privacy his own home. Won't you Ixion? won't you....

    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

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