So, I am tight on funds right now and we need to get things taken care of for the house such as TRYING to get a fence this year and some mud jacking of a cement slab. However, I ABSOLUTELY NEED to get myself a trailer to tow around the bike, snow blower, etc... I am getting sick of paying rental fees that will evenually just pay for a purchase instead. I am looking at 4x6, 4x7, 4x8 or 5x7, 5x8. I am thinking 4x7 is the best for bike or bigger. With this, I believe I will be canceling my order for my S50 CooCase Top Truck and SWMotech rack (both of which I have been waiting on backorder for since 2/18) and diverting it where I think I have a more immediate need.
So I am looking at the trailer and some new riding boots for pleasure/commuting. I have seen some people that have the Sidi Fusion and the AS MX-5s. I am looking at the waterproof versions or the standard. For the Fusion (non Rain) I like the Toe Slider although I am not sure I will ever need that. I do LIKE the idea of waterproof but I have heard that that can make your feet HOT during summer. I would be wearing these on my weekend rides or when I am able to ride the bike to work, or meet up with friends. I went with these because they are within a doable range, for most of them Revzilla said that they are ok/good for walking also, and yep I need a size 50 because I wear 14-15 shoes.![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Alpinestars Web Gore-Tex Boots - RevZilla
Alpinestars S-MX 5 Waterproof Boot - RevZilla
Alpinestars S-MX 5 Vented Boot - RevZilla
Sidi Fusion Boots - RevZilla
Sidi Fusion Rain Boots - RevZilla
or (although Revzilla says these are not great for also walking in)
Sidi Cobra Boots - RevZilla
These come in rain also but cant seem to find a 14.5
I also want ones that will cross over good for next year when it sounds like the wife and I might get a 2nd bike for touring such as a Concours or a Victory/Yamaha Star/Kawi Tourer. But will not look "out of place" on either of the bikes. These would probably be tucked under pants. I dont think I am looking at the truly vented versions of these boots because I want to have them comfy in the 40's-50's also. I am getting sick of getting wind whip on my shins above my HD Badlands boots when the pants ride up while riding and stoping. So I am thinking safety gear also for me and bike before fun accessories like a trunk. So I am trying to get boots, better full gloves and engine/crankcase sliders and radiator guards.
