Yeah they do look stealthy or sure. My toes are kinda cramped but that's always been an issue with my wide feet. Atleast they are snug.They're comfortable and look stealthy under jeans right?
I thought you had Sidi boots too? No? Maybe I'm thinking of Boris...Hi, my name isn't important, all you got to know is that I'm a gear whore.
So at the end of my first motorcycling season I have a small collection of protective gear and a lot of feedback about it, and I thought I should share.

Sidi Fusion or Strada will arrive early next season in my collection ), I've been looking at them but, the upcoming snowmobile trip left a big hole in my expandable budget ).I thought you had Sidi boots too? No? Maybe I'm thinking of Boris...
Ahhhha, that's where I've seen em.Sidi Fusion or Strada will arrive early next season in my collection ), I've been looking at them but, the upcoming snowmobile trip left a big hole in my expandable budget ).
P.S. Boris rides TCX, Preacher rides Sidi
I have the Alpinestars in that link. Amazing boots. Very comfy and they have vents so you're feet don't sizzle! Haha.Ahhhha, that's where I've seen em.
If I continue to ride the ZX14, I'd like a pair of either of these.... in red..... to match the bike, of course
Alpinestars S-MX R Boots - RevZilla
Sidi Cobra Boots - RevZilla
P.S. Do you think if I was a very good boy, and I'll ask nice, will Santa bring me a ZX-14 too?! or a S1000RR>?!
Ja, das ist echt. Aber das ZX14 ist schneller.ask santa for the s1000rr... nothing like good 'ol german engineering
I'm not quite on Heineken's first riding season gear whore pace, but I'm trying! Self-birthday present, I ordered the following last night:
Sidi Vortice Boots
Dainese Alien Leather Pants
All so I can properly enjoy (and survive intact) my mid-life crisis.
I opted for the Vortice because I love the tensioning system on my Streetburners, and without them the ST and Vertigo were a bit loose in the heel cup, or if I went down a size my toes were mashed when I walked.
And the Dainese Alien because they look like an excellent pant and with my waist size (I'm a sizeable lad) all the other manufacturers expect me to have the inseam of a 7 foot NBA center. These will likely fit nicely, if maybe a tad long.
Yeah, I am stoked to get this stuff. Top end motorcycle gear seems expensive, but I play ice hockey as a goalie, and once you get accustomed to the sticker shock of THAT equipment, this stuff doesn't seem bad at all. These boots, these pants, a top end jacket and a high end Shoei helmet all together will run you right about what my goalie mask alone cost me.That's a real nice way to spend 1k ). Hell, that's the best there is, worth every penny.
