I always wear boots. I can only imagine the damage that would have happened to my feet during my accident this week, if I wore runners or sandals. *shudders*

always boots - all it takes is one time and no / mangled foot, no thanks. Raced motocross for long enough to know - it's not if, but when you go down.

I think it's ironic that so many people are adamant that they always wear boots, but so many people ride w/out helmets. As if your toes are more important than your head.

A skint toe hurts like a mother...you squash your brains out and you're not gonna know about it



just kidding...I'd wear a helmet even if there wasn't a helmet law.

I don't see too many guys riding in sneakers around me. Sneakers are ghey. You're likely to get your assed kicked in these parts riding a Harley wearing your Keds. I do see quite a few guys wearing shorts and riding boots. An interesting look, but also ghey due to the shorts, and therefore, not for me.

I've pulled my bike into the garage wearing something other than boots and it's a pain to shift in anything with a soft top. I don't know how anyone can up-shift in soft top shoes. They must be ghey.

Note: I have homosexuals, people do ghey things on bikes.

You sure do know a lot about gay people.
