if you are going back to reservice than you can use your 11-b to buy lor.last time i go reservice also bought a pair when going home it rains but inside the boots still dry dry leh... :smile:

yup..

 

but consider this, Army gortex dun have shin shield. =)

 

a average riding boots have.

 

for wat? to prevent any injuries on your shin in an even of accient.

 

 

the ankle protection of a army boots is not good as a average riding boots.

 

 

 

for daily commuting, army boots is okie..

but if u go a bit more than riding, i suggest u get the riding boots.

 

 

not asking ppl to change the concept but there is a different in both boots itself

I remember once I went to a kopitiam with my mates after a ride. All of us were in gear (i.e armoured jacket, gloves and boots...etc). One of my mate commented that one particular group in that kopitiam were snarling at us, passing remarks like "Oh, Look like wearing long 4", and generally giggling like the girlies in their group.

 

Apparently one guy in the group is riding an r1 and good lord, he just had a full face, denim jacket thats all, his pillion wearing a nice sleeveless tank and jeans with high heels. I think my group look pretty good decked up in gear. But why does the other group view us in distain?

 

So let analysis what wrong . Most spends a bomb on there bike but yet does not protect himself and his loved ones.

Yet he laughs at us, but isn't he laughing at himself?

 

So his life and limb are cheaper then his bike?

 

Oh I know, he has the classic " It will never happen to me" Theory because he thinks he riding a bigger bike therefore he has better skill.

 

 

I am deeply sadden by those who ride yet laugh at others who take pains to protect themself, after all the later group wants to live to ride another day.

used to love riding bicycle so i know how does it feel like to fall when going fast.

so after i got my license, i went out to buy a ff, jacket and gloves. afterall, the speed of a bike is much faster than that of a bicycle's.

my friends just laughed and asked me why i waste $$$, but after they all had accidents and scars all over, i just think to myself "look who's laughing now"

I know how it feels to fly at 40km/h in teeshirt, shorts and slippers.

 

Those were my bicycle days man.

But your open face can buy two HJC full-face woh...

but if u met a accident...10 ff helmet cant buy back ur head..

[Guest nE0]

I got one 2nd hand Alpinestars one for $70, retails for $130+ I think. Is it worth it? I dunno... How does it compare to a $30 glove? Unless I crash test both, no one will know, but its assuring to know I'm wearing something good that will protect my hands against road rash.

 

Wear gear when riding bicycle? Hai yo... Noneed la. I buy one helmet cost more than the bicycle itself liao.

[Guest xanc]

th bell $30 is the cloth one rite??

 

diff btw the alpinestars leather gloves and the $40 gloves are basically the qualoty i guess..

MAYBE the latter could only survive one serious accident while teh former could last more..

but bottomline is tat no matter the price of it, it stills protects u...

[william_liu]

Think I'll go get a pair for my gal soon....
