Boots on a trike?

[Ozarker]

Oldie but goodie:laugh:

When I rode my Transalp I wore AGVSPORT jacket, usually the pants (suited up), it has armor for knees, thighs, elbows, shoulders and back. I wore my Army combat boots, old style black leather. Always wore eye protection. Never got on that bike without a decent helmet, full or 3/4. Wore shorty gloves too.

Same for riding cruisers, except it was jeans and leathers. Boots most of the time, yes, I hand tennis shoe days in town. Always eye protection, gloves and helmet.

On my trike, a bit different, this past summer, jeans, t-shirt, tennis shoes or hiking style boots, gloves, eye protection and helmet.

Now, this fall until next summer, I'm going to get that suit back out, it has waterproof liner and insulated liner.....or my leathers. Combat boots or, if it's really cold, my old black mickey mouse boots. Heavier gloves, etc.

I'm too old now to look like a bad arse orag:

I also won't bounce like I use to, so all the protection I can get is important.

Didn't mention the Bad Boy air horn on my trike :laugh:

IMHO going without proper protection is just asking for trouble! Now, I'm gonna put on my Trojan and go for a ride....

Mingus41 - You're missing the point, Sir. Probably the most important reason to wear heavy duty, above the ankle boots is to protect your feet in the event of a crash. True, on three we are not as likely to lay a bike down, but if a cager knocks me off my trike, I would certainly like something to keep the skin on my ankles, or maybe even help keep my foot attached to my leg in a more serious collision. However, to each his own.

Totally agree, OLD SCHOOL here, doesn’t matter, on my 2 or 3 wheeler it’s still the SAME,

Boots rule!

...spent too many Nites scraping bodies and body parts off the Blacktop to Ignore the Safety Issue!

Same here... always wear my safety gear... boots, helmet, gloves, long pants... been on the ground... didn't like it... safety gear saved my bacon...

I will use reasonable safety gear for my safety...But if i find i have to dress up like Bibendum, That means i'm riding scared ' And riding scared IMO isn't safe either.....:Shrug:
