On Monday, I crashed my Monster at about 50mph. I suffered road rash on my hip and lots of bruising- and Pandora has flesh wounds of her own. Here’s what exactly happened, and the lowdown on the gear that saved my life.
motolady! What brand are those cool boots? And where did you get them?
I assume you mean these ones? I’ve got 3 pairs of “fav” boots and, as of yesterday I’ve got one more!
These were an ebay find, after wanting tall boots with ONLY buckles- I’ve had too many zippers fail and shoelaces break. I searched for about 3 hours straight, searching the depths of ebay for the right boots. I saw these for $35- the size was marked as “5” listed as Motocross boots. I asked the guy how long they were in inches, he told me 10.5”. That is no where near a men’s 5, so I decided it was worth the risk.
After inspection, they fit like a glove and seemed to be one of a kind. Maybe prototypes for someone’s homemade boot. There is no brand, and I’ve never seen another pair like them. If you find some, PLEASE let me know. I’ve worn mine out already.
