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 resist typing an excessive amount of exclamation points but it’s worth a few more… !!!!! !! ! Is it the orange ‘76 CB that Thor from See See Cycles was selling? If so, I am j-j-j-jealous! Or maybe that was a ‘77… Anywho, that is a RAD bike and you will have so much fun on it, I am sure. I actually don’t know any female moto mechanics in Portland, but maybe my… Continue Reading »
