    43-45.. 10 ish i think... tend to go larger coz i wear explorer sox!

    I'll take any boots off anyone!!! my blundstones tend to a) be not waterproof (reason I left buckets early last time) , b) bloody cold coz of the steelcaps and c) quite scary coz they would slip off my feet in an off

    Cheers all!

    Checked these last night & they are 44s, I'll bring em along to the buckets if I remember.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    I'll chuck ya some postage! I dont mind things cluttering my cupboard... it's not like theres any shoes in there... (only got 1 pair work boots, 1 pair wedding shoes) :spudwave:

    Maybe, but in the US head injuries kill and maim more bikers than spinal injuries.

    Is that statistic normalised against the number of morons who don't wear helmets, though?

    Wanna reason to wear a back protector-Im walking today because I wore one on sunday when I crashed. I checked out thee back of my leathers and my sore back now has an explaination.
    One of the links in my back protector has a crush mark on it and my leathers have white paint on em from the sharks tooth.
    Yes I was racing but i was also in the best /safest place to crash Although pukie isn't the most bike freindly track in the world its still safer than the road.
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
