Do you have to take the tank off to check your tappets?

Used to be (when I lived there) no sales tax on clothing in Pennsylvania. Prolly still the case.

I'm waitin' for those new whore tex bootys.
One size fits all. (with a shoe horn)

Very comfy and I use them a lot on the street.
You can't go wrong with good quality.

For years I wore a pair of AXO-MX boots – Top-notch for protection.
My occasion for considering them was a previous encounter
with carbs, heads, jugs, etal that resulted in broken foot bones.

I currently wear a pair of TCX boots that are close to MX in protection
but more flexible and more walking friendly,
Heavy duty black leather, gore-tex membrane, reflective patch on the heel,
and NO goofy-graphics, colors, or stripes.
Easier in-n-out and more comfortable to wear than the "Combat Touring Boots" I owned and wore for a short while.

I just unbolt it and prop it up with a piece of wood. No need to drain it.

There is this boot in TCX. Not too expensive, but I don't like to see an exposed zipper.

I'd be more concerned about the velcro closure than the zipper. I've had to replace all the velcro with snaps on critical closures on my gear after about a year.

There is always a zipper under the velcro closure. I just like to see zippers completely covered. Like everything, velcro comes in different qualities.

I'm up for new boots so this is a good thread for me.
Vanzen's TCX boots look good. So too do the Sidi Canyon boots.
Decisions, decisions.
ZM's link at the start of this thread has some excellent information and reviews.

My 20 y.o. Rossi Eagle boots are about done.
