Re: Boots with laces.
It's not just laces that can be a problem, I managed to drop my gsxr when the side stand lever caught in the velcro part that covers the zip, just as I put the side stand up and went to raise my foot to rest on the peg the lever part of the stand somehow got caught in my boot and after a second or two of panic ... over it went, breaking a mirror and scuffing up a bar end. No real damage but an audience of about 30 people at a bike meet didn't help with the total embarrassment. It wasn't the first time the boot had caught in the side stand but it was the first time it made me drop my bike. Needless to say ... the boots were sold pretty much immediately, never had boots that were so much of a hazard tbh. I now put my boots inside my leathers/ trousers ... a'la Rossi!
