    You can always spray your boots with Tana water proofer (or something similar) until you can afford to spring for new ones...
    Miss a trackday here and there and you'll have new boots sooner..
    Yea voice of reason, hands more important. Just thinking back to my trip in the dark to Taupo some weeks back and my hands were so cold it was painful. Track days.. something I really enjoy! only one more next week then none until towards the end of the year so I can save my pennies.

    Don't usually like second hand shoes but when I started out I found a pair that fitted and in new condition.
    Also bark busters and heated grips keep those hands toasty warm even in Central Otago
    not sure what that is, is it a link?

    I don't need hands when I have a mouth, well protected by my helmet, just in case you were wondering.

    I concur, get the gloves and put breadbags over your feet.

    Go to forums - online trading and you will find the ad
    The shoe size chart is in bike gear and gives you an idea of all shoe sizes, works quite well

    Another piss take by Bosslady, and you cunts fall for it . She knows the answer. Fuck, all you ald 'cunts' fall over when a fresh muff hits the scene. If she is unable to get that figured out, then her past 'education' is in question. Yep , unable to think for themselves.

    Gloves Gloves Gloves , have you got it now.

    Oddly, ACC pay out more on foot and leg injuries than any other motorcycle injury. Maybe you should get boots.

    if I want to be a brand whore I will, and all gear is not created equal. And I want all my gear to match.
