Sidi Strada Evo Tepor boots, almost new, free to a good home

[jrandom]

Yes, really. Free.

(A short review of the boots for those of you who can't use Google.)

They're size 44 (US men's size 10).



I just had my recently-purchased pair replaced under insurance after my crash last month. The old pair are a wee bit battered and torn around the toes from the off, but still very obviously a 3-month-old $400 pair of boots. They're definitely nowhere near as fucked as the boots HDTboy rides in...



AA Insurance doesn't want them, so I figure I should generate a little positive karma by giving them away.

Most worthy recipient gets them. Post in this thread or PM me. Either pick them up from me in Auckland, or I'll post them out in their original box.

Young hXc is riding in what are essentially leather gumboots (they are bike boots, but styled like what horse riders wear). He could do with some 'proper' motorcycle boots....

Sell one of your Guzzis and buy a new pair of boots, you cheapskate.

Is he a size 10?

[MSTRS:Me]

Is he a size 10?

yep. Actual, those boots look identical to mine - damned good they are too - and hXc would pinch mine if they fitted his big(ger) hooves...

Good on you JR

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

perfect size too... hmmm I need a new pair....


its a need not a want

[obstacle]

i have to put my hand up because i'm extremely broke and the one thing i need before i pick up my new bike this weekend is a pair of boots.

I don't mind if they go to someone else because there must be someone more deserving but i'd be silly not to ask. I'm shit scared of riding in my chuck tailors but that's what it's going to be for a while.

These are the same boots I wear, they're great. Easy to walk in and waterproof too.

You sound like the ideal qualifier.

I take it you fit size 10 shoes then?

Absolutely, 100%.

OK folks, there's a few fullas coming out of the woodwork who actually don't have any boots to ride in, and can't afford to just go out and buy them.

So I'll let the thread run for a couple more days to make sure everyone sees it, then write a script to use a random number generator to pick someone from the list of guys who fit the above description (being a geek is useful, sometimes). I don't have any other meaningful way of deciding who to hand them to.

So feel free to PM or post with "Broke biker, no boots". One of you will have the Sidis by the end of the week.

sounds like the perfect solution. Thanks JR, your geeky skills are going to a very good cause. My fingers are already crossed.

what a lovely man.
