These are size 41. For fitment, I am a 41-42 and wear these with medium thickness socks so I think they size large. Please find some to try before you buy as I can't take back if don't fit. Bought end May and worn twice only, cost £209, will provide receipt for guarantee purposes. Never worn in rain but they are Gore Tex. Price £170 posted, £10 less than the equivalent but possibly inferior (see below) model from Hein Gericke. These are the same style as BMW Savannah (or Santiago???) http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69649 and Hein Gericke Rally II but they are reckoned to differ a bit http://gsri.info/forum/general-forum...iews-thoughts/ I had the HG ones first, didnt like the fit, returned them and bought these which were fine. Go figure. The finishing is also slightly different. Reason for sale is see my signature (I am only keeping one set of off-road kit). Please PM me.

Factor in the postage, make sure they have them in stock, & feel free to make a purchase. Or you can do what most people do and make an offer if you don't like the price and I can say 'yes' or 'no'. __________________ Without bike(s) http://www.ukgser.com/forums/images/...n/post_old.gif Yesterday, 20:23 #4 Blobby Subscriber http://www.ukgser.com/promo/subscribe2.gif http://www.ukgser.com/forums/image.p...ine=1252356471 Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Gloucestershire Posts: 102 http://www.mickbyrne.co.uk/motorcycl...cle-boots.html £169.99 http://www.ukgser.com/forums/images/...n/post_old.gif Yesterday, 20:56 #5 The White Rabbit Subscriber http://www.ukgser.com/promo/subscribe2.gif Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: North Somerset Posts: 756 And £6 odd postage.

I guess folks like being helpful. When I Googled them the cheapest I came up with was eBay at £188 +p&p, in case anyone thinks I was trying to rip anyone off. People who have bought from me in the past will know that I always price stuff to move on, but I can't shift these stupid cheap. I had the same thing with a bike that I had been advised on the price by a bike salesman I know, then had multiple complaints that is was too pricey. It eventually sold for a sum that the new buyer was happy with. I would have liked a bit more but hey ho. But interestingly, the initial complainants didn't come up with an offer at all on that occassion. Just helpful I guess. ANYWAY, apparently a 7.5 . I'd say more like an 8 if an 8 fits you easily with some room. You'd need thicker socks if a 7. That's why I suggest a try on at all good retail outlets. __________________ Without bike(s) http://www.ukgser.com/forums/images/...n/post_old.gif Today, 13:42 #10 Blobby Subscriber http://www.ukgser.com/promo/subscribe2.gif http://www.ukgser.com/forums/image.p...ine=1252356471 Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Gloucestershire Posts: 102 The White Rabbit - http://www.ukgser.com/forums/images/smilies/bow.gif Sorry, I appear to have caused you immense grief by correcting a failed link and showing the price at the end of that link. No harm was intended, was just tidying up and trying to help. Clearly backfired so won't be doing that again. FWIW - I use TCX Infinity GTX boots year round and they are damn fine, cool enough in summer and will keep piggys warm and dry in the coldest wettest winter. http://www.ukgser.com/forums/images/smilies/thumb2.gif http://www.ukgser.com/forums/images/...n/post_old.gif Today, 14:19 #11 The White Rabbit Subscriber http://www.ukgser.com/promo/subscribe2.gif Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: North Somerset Posts: 756 Don't worry about it.

The quoted price is very cheap, and I paid £209, more fool me but I guess it was spring. Anyway, to check they are available at that cheap price, why don't I order a pair and see if they come, and then I will have two pairs to sell on here http://www.ukgser.com/forums/images/smilies/aidan.gif Perhaps I should just start all over with this. http://www.ukgser.com/forums/images/...s/rolleyes.gif __________________ Without bike(s) http://www.ukgser.com/forums/images/buttons/reply.gif « Previous Thread | Next Thread » |
Re: For your amusement, trying to sell a pair of boots
Yes I know I am in the wrong but the guy could have PMd me and tipped me off and not (helped) me look a right ****. Mind you I helped myself pretty well.
And yes, I know someone on here also likes to help out in people's for sale posts, don't they the_solitary_Canis lupus? :smt075 |

Re: For your amusement, trying to sell a pair of boots
What I don't understand is why people don't just look at a price, check it out, then make an informed offer.
That's what you do when you buy anything FFS. |

I did point out it was a bit difficult to follow. :lol: It's from another forum, I was mearly telling folks what a scrape I had go into for their amusement, you know a laugh, like a bit of fun, a bit of a chuckle, a titter. Remember That's Life, yes, well like the things they used to have on there. No?.. no. |
