Boots begone

Ok, I have no idea who reads my blog. But if there are any bikers that need a pair of boots (or perhaps you know of someone that wants a pair of awesome racing boots) I’m trying to get rid of my Sidi Vertigos. They’re size 43EU (9UK; 9.5USA) and are black.

Reason for selling: size problems. Curse my foot shape! The boot fits perfectly, but my foot slides forward ever so slightly and my toes get jammed against the hardened toe of the boot.

I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before but in case I haven’t: foot/ankle injuries are the most common type of injuries in motorcycle accidents. There are a lot of bones and nerves that area so there’s a lot of potential for injury and pain, so wearing good boots is pretty important for when you have an accident. Now I have to buy a different pair of boots :( so expensive, yet so important.

In case anyone is wondering, the bike went back on Tuesday to get stuff sorted out. Though I don’t expect a timeous resolution. My father sent a pretty nice letter to the insurance company, who in turn forwarded it to the guys fixing my bike. So hopefully this will give them some more motivation to get the job done right.
