Boots
 

look i have not actually passed my test(wife thinks it is mid life crisis) but am trying to get gear together for when i do. Already have FT Trousers,
and an arlen ness jacket(BN of fleabay for 100 notes) Am now looking for boots. Have seen a pair Oxtar SS Performance 2 waterproof for 92 is this any good boots look ok and being in gods own country i will get rained on at some point so water proof is a must.
Any pointers greatly received.
Will also be looking to buy a pointy after test(hopefuly pass at the end of month) Will have around 2500 what do you think that will get me.
All comments gratefully received.

Unfortunatley waterproof are 180 only just starting out so trying to keep costs down.
Oxtar ones are 92 quid delivered

I found a Hein Gericke shop not too far from work and tried a whole selection of different ones. Ended up with some "Maddox" boots that score zero for style, but full marks for comfort and keeping the water out.

£2500 should get you a reasonable pointy. I paid under £2000 for a scruffy SK4 with a rather suspect exhaust, but it's my first big bike so I didn't want anything too shiny. Just like buying cars, it's worth taking along a mate who knows something about bikes when you go shopping.

Good luck with the test,

Keith.

sidi vertigo are my chosen boot.
great looks, comfy (although not for everyone). theyre not waterproof but i wear them all year round and never had any real issues with them.
probably wont go far wrong if you have a look whats for sale on the org. should get a tidy piece of kit for that money. best of luck with the test.

Re: Boots
 

Ive been out in some real p*****g rain and didnt have an issue with them.

Saying that, my last boots wernt waterproof either but never suffered wet feet in them.

Re: Boots
 

I say buy the boots you like and buy some plastic overboots for when its pising down real hard. They're great. I always carry a pair in my backpack.

BTW You guys may have noticed that most of us here are showing our face in our avatars for this month. Please comply!

Re: Boots
 

This is a good option.
The other option is get some goretex socks too.
