Motorcycling Safety sandals

I can't see anything saying 1st April so it seems to be kosher...

Must get a couple of pair when I go to Bali next year. Hmmmm, $15.

" It is a sandal specifically designed and engineered for bickers. "

Everyone is aus.moto should have a pair then - most of the posts are
nothing but bickering.

 

And some more ideas for ozmoto entrepeneurs catering for
the growing trend in squiddism:

Kevlar singlets.

Kevlar shorts.

Kevlar bandanas.

Kevlar block-out cream.

Man; I've gotta' get me some!
You can even use them comfortably in day-to-day activities!!
Seriously though; in a country where most people ride barefoot or in thongs
they're probably a big step forward in protection.

Exactly. I saw this bloke riding over Khardung La. 18,000ft up,
snowing intermittently, wet, ferking cold, windy, he was riding, no
helmet just sunglasses, no gloves, sandals with socks on. At least he
didn't have the problem of putting his gloves back on after he'd turned
the liners inside out when taking them off :/

Fark; that's a hard man!

 

Trust a Queenslander to be impressed by someone wearing something less
than polar-exploration gear against a background of snow...

....pity he doesn't look more like TB. There'd be some good mileage in it.

 

TB who? Is he a mate of Conehead's?

Wow, check out those front numberplates! Must be a terrible safety
hazard, and it'd feck up the bike's aerodynamics too! ;-)

Wow, check out the mistyped URL that results in:
"That page does not exist. You fucked up. Try again."

Coffee anyone?

Having visited Bali on numerous occasions, I would say it's a huge
step forward. Any form of closed-in footwear just isn't going to sell
there. You probably couldn't find a pair of bike boots in any shop.

Make up your mind. In countries where it actually gets cold, it can be
wet or cold, not both. If the snow is wet, it isn't really cold.

Theo
Who remembers walking across a snowy carpark and getting a serious
static boot of the car. Humidity was zero.

 

Dangerous shit in a prang, that Kevlar. Melts, apparently...

 

So my Draggin cargo pants are dangerous?

Oooooer...

It's an aus.moto "in" joke, Jerry...

 

Wondering if they have a racing version...

 

the whole of ausmoto is one big "in" joke...
