Default New toys coming on Wed!!!

I have been looking at these for awhile. The feedback is good. And the price is great. I picked up two. I will give a review on quality when i get them and a review of use when the temp gets above -2 degrees. Plus i have to finish redoing my trailer before i mount them.

I also picked up a new pair of boots. Hopefully they will be here by the end of the week.

You will love the wheel chock, I have a different one but the end result should be the same, easy loading and unloading. I used to hate trying to balance the bike while trying to get the tie downs on, I have dropped her once and boy didn't that feel good, just the embarrassment alone.

The boots look good and I say any gear is better than no gear, I think they do not offer the same protection as the SIDIvertigo but also look more like touring boots.

Congrats on the new gear GR.

Yeah they are street boots. I didnt want the real stiff race boot. They had the race for the same $$$, but comfort was on my mind also.

These are the boots I've been looking at:

I like that they're not extremely flashy and bright like most race boots. They also look like they'll provide decent protection.

Right on GR, like NS mentioned above. You really appreciate just being able to roll the ride in and will make you wish that you had gotten one sooner. I too use a different one and am spoiled by it.

i've had these for years and i love them. they are great in the heat and the cold and very comfortable. i dont think i paid anything close to that price though. if i remember correctly i got them for around $160

welli got the stands. They seem to made very well. Took a whole 2 min to put together. I havent used them, but dont think i will have any problems.They have plenty of adjustments on them.


I also got my boots. I must say i was a little nervous, but damn these boots are nice. No bling at all, comfy and more support than my Icon motorhead boots. Leather is good quality. Me likey. My leather pants fit so good over them, it looks like all one piece. Def well worth the $$$. Fast shipping from www.newenough.com The size is exactly like icon. I wore a 10 in icon boots and a 44 in setup boots.(44 = a 10 in there size chart)

All in all i just wanna ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All this stuff and we are having a heat wave here. Its now 19 degrees. errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr [:@]

I picked up a gently used Pitbull rearstand for $70 the other day, and my new Corbin seat arrived yesterday. Sunday I changed out all my fluids, two weeks ago I mounted the new mirrors, and once it warms up the rimstripes go on. Especially after attending the Cycle World Bike Show this past weekend, and then all this stuff - I am SERIOUSLY jonesing to ride. *twitch twitch*
