Re: Ten to One

I found out quickly that my Thor Quadrant boots are not water proof or even water resistance, no matter how tight I latched the buckles. I have never found an MX type boot that was even close to waterproof so I have always used these things http://www.sealskinz.com/socks They are also very handy wh...

There is no good excuse for not having state of the art riding gear.

Whoever said there was, I was just confirming SteveD's doubt at the figures he read.
