Boots!

[BigVeeGrin]

When I got back on a bike a year and a bit ago I had a tight budget and kitted out with textiles and touring Spada boots.

Now, the boots are pretty crap - the linings are all but shot and there's not a lot of armour and are most definitely not a boot for a Storm rider.

I want a decent armoured, waterproof (ish), comfy and hard wearing good value boot that I can afford - c£100. RiDE recommended is Axo Primato but buggered if I can find any closer than Germany or Philidelphia!

Any recommendations?

I got some really nice alpinestars in the sale last March (end of season stuff)for around £120, and you can pick up some great deals if you weed them out. I'd try to find a local stockist, find a good place to go take a look at a few, try some on for size etc, make a note on paper of which ones fit best (flexibility/armour etc) and then head home to see what is the cheapest/best price for the ones you like the best, on the net! You could save quite a bit and if not, then you can always go back and buy one you tried on...Simples.... .

cheers - tbh there's bugger all around here, a Triumph dealer, Suzuki (ok) and a Honda one that I wouldn't walk through the door of ever again. So was keen to track down some Axo's to check them out!

I lashed out £8 for mine at BMF rally few years ago best pair boots I've ever had, another time got a pair for my daughter for same price with a free pair for me (wear them on my CCM). Gloves were all £2 a pair, got about 6 pairs summer/winter gloves. Late sunday afternoon in Hein Gericke, (and other stalls) many clothing bargains at BMF shows
