I know I am probably wrong, and even possibly stooopid, but for me -
Blundstones and a leather jacket or my Belstaff Trialmaster.
Sounds like a good look, and somewhat protected. But you can do much better in crash, and weather protection. Best protection is not being there. If they're not there, they can't hurt you so run away, of back way off.
I still remember GSPD saying "pretend you're invisible".
I tend to ride like there is a contract on my head.
I don't pretend.....I know.
BTW I recently had some Email with GSPD. Tried to lure him back, but I think airheads are a subject that he finds redundant. Our loss.

That's not the only downside. There is also looking like a tool while riding your MC wearing blaze orange as if you were a deer hunter or something.
Sorry, that's your opinion of Hi-Viz. What you think happens; what you believe other people see.
After 20 years as a professional bike mechanic and 30 years as an engineer I know just enough to be dangerous !

Blundstones? Romeo's?
Are you guys serious?
If they don't protect the ankle as much as possible, they should at least not come off easily.
IMO, of course.
But Rob, they're way kool.
I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.

Hey I tried to make fun of ZM' quoting skills and I got stuck in here too!
I've seen dogs get "stuck", but never kangaroos !
Be careful what you wish for. Roos are blessed with an articulated corkscrew. You can imagine how difficult it must be to negotiate around a lady roo's big fat tail.

Hey Woobly, I've lived with roos for about the last 18 years. The were just a few when we first moved here and now the mob is at about 40. They're often in my front yard and back yard, but mostly in my top paddock.
