Dunno, I was using their zip side mid ankle steel caps for bike boots.....well they were my work boots but bloody comfortable, some say steel caps are bad on a bike, in a crash like, I wonder though are they speaking from experience or something they were told or read?
I had that conversation about the steel toe caps with a young fella who rode a Jap bike.
I don't know what the fuck is going on here.
My good mate had a toe cut off from a industrial accident from steel toe boots....extreme situation of a bobcat bucket being slammed down on his foot, squashed the steel toe flat . Lives in a mansion by the sea from the payout.
I guess one mans wine is another mans poison. Back in the middle 90s was riding my XS650, here in Townsville, on the way home from work. There was an accident in the Bohle so Bike cop and ambos already on scene. I was trundling along and right in front of me a ute, a real one, (before they became a fashion accessory with tents on the roof) pulled from the right, obscured as the traffic the other way was standing still. Tried to lay the bike but leg was caught under it so we both slid together. I didn't hit the ute but slid under the front and ended up on the drivers side. Sitting there dusting myself off with skin off etc. The cop raced up to see if i was OK. Shaken and stirred a little. He handed me a steel cap. I said haven't seen that before. He said look down at your boot. Steel cap ripped out and he said if you didn't have safety boots then you'd be minus some toes.
I reckon he already does that 😂😂😂
Only really a problem when you start losing arguments with yourself.
Might get a sensible conversation for a change !
Youre right 408 ! I can talk to myself.
