sidi's seem to go for around the 100 quid mark as long as their not the 05 vertigo/corsa's, so i think i might go for a pair. I always thought they would be more expensive as they are often quoted as the best, going to be a happy christmas

I've had my sidi's for 2 years, they are still ok apart from the right hand boot now has a hole where it's burnt from the exhaust, I usually keep a patch of duck tape on if it's raining

I have Sidi's stuck in the back of a cuboard somewhere - wear trainers 99% of the time though.

I just bought a pair of swift M2R Superbike Boots from this website. Absolutely brilliant, great customer service, phoned me up and everything to make sure they had arrived and the boots are pukka

yep and a very light jacket definately not meant for riding a bike in.

I stopped wearing full leathers a couple years back because I find it makes you more prone to riding to fast to much of the time. Bung on some normal none biking clothes and you feel more vulnerable which slows you down.

hows that for dumb logic.

oh and its a K6

Yeah I knew your new one was a K6, but I think I meant your old bike, but that was like a K2 or 3.

I kinda see your logic, but cant say I understand it!

But why dont you wear leathers and stop your throttle twisting more than a 1/4 turn ;)
