I just look like I am going faster than I really am, it's the pink jacket ;) Tony it taken more than 7 months, I have been hanging out for 28 years on the back of the hubs bike. Once you have the taste of freedom you want more!!! <br /><br />The course will be good for me in other ways as well, learning defensive skills and just being a better rider.Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912722884165693795.post-45750796052742280582011-08-26T13:20:39.084-07:002011-08-26T13:20:39.084-07:00I ride fully atgatt and it gets mighty hot under a...I ride fully atgatt and it gets mighty hot under all that gear, especially now in the blazing heat, but well worth it compared to what your fellow scooterist endured. <br /><br />Congrats on your Learners!! You go pretty fast on that little Vino of yours, and you want to go faster in only 7 months??

I know my coat isn't waterproof if the liner isn't it. Is there a warranty? Sometimes for me it is just too warm for the liner so I go without. <br /><br />Glad you wear gear! I was getting tired of water logged pruney looking toes when I got home from a commute in the rain. Boots are awesome, don't worry about name brands, just get what fits & is comfortable.<br /><br />Let me know what you get!

In the last ride I took in the rain they leaked in the seat, which was disappointing. I'm going to wash them then blast them with waterproofing stuff and hope that does the trick. The final purchase will be boots. I'm thinking Alpinestar Ridge boots. But like you, if something suitable turns up in the clearance section I'll jump on it. <br /><br />Curiously, both my Corazzo jacket and my Tourmaster pants are from Scooter Underground in Victoria. <br /><br />Ride safely!David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912722884165693795.post-29236040476955842652011-08-22T10:58:12.541-07:002011-08-22T10:58:12.541-07:00Dear Bobskoot,

But I am a pretty tough cookie most of the time. Once bitten by the scooter/motorcycle bug there is no going back. <br /><br />I love to run around barefooted in the summer. But I have to say those coolio new little boots are pretty awesome! I am so looking forward to dry feet this fall/winter. I was looking at some Alpinestars on line, but I am glad I found these. <br /><br />Cheers dear friend!<br /><br />Snicklefritz (aka Dar)Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912722884165693795.post-54675091285391668422011-08-22T08:47:10.237-07:002011-08-22T08:47:10.237-07:00to my dear SnickleFritz:

I am sorry to hear you had a skirmish with the pavement but delighted to see you may be expanding your horizons to include a motorcycle.<br /><br />I too love shoes but generally like to be unshod during the warmer months. Those riding boots look very similar to my new Alpinestars, which remain unused and still new with tags intact.<br /><br />. . . and I used to LOVE Nancy Sinatra and her BOOTS were made for walking . . .

I skinned it a little and had an instant ulnar nerve tingling in my pinky & fourth finger, but it lasted only a few minutes, so on the whole I was pretty lucky. <br /><br />Where I didn't fare so well was on my right hip and thigh area. I fell January 21/11 and to this day I am still having pain in my thigh area where I impacted on the pavement and the internal bruised section has hardened, so it still hurts and probably always will. <br /><br />So I will always be an ATGATT-er even in the hot weather such as yesterday, it was about 80+ degrees and I still geared up. My health is my wealth, if I am hurt & can't be a mom or work it screws up my life. <br /><br />My philosophy for riding is - when you go out riding and have a family, you are taking them along with you and THEY are the ones who deal with the aftermath.Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912722884165693795.post-47870895185439307942011-08-21T20:58:16.816-07:002011-08-21T20:58:16.816-07:00Trobairitz - Victoria is a college/touristy town a...Trobairitz - Victoria is a college/touristy town and every day I see a lot of folks on their scoots or rental scoots not dressed appropriately at all. Regular scooterists who don't wear gear will change their mind after a fall or at least start wearing proper footwear and not flip flops. I am so there about being dorky looking and sweaty, I can always have a shower after a ride and it is better than bleeding. I happen to like my hide and appreciate it being intact. <br /><br />Turtle - They are awesome boots and way better than my leather boots I was wearing. Those ones weren't waterproof and my feet used to get completely soaked. I also like that fact they have ankle protection. Hey by the way I love your new scooter bag you made, it is beautiful!Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912722884165693795.post-37243617894255197772011-08-21T20:08:43.054-07:002011-08-21T20:08:43.054-07:00Nice boots!

It took a while for me to find comfy riding pants but it is worth it when you do. <br /><br />And what a good score on the new boots too.<br /><br />We live in a college town where we see lots of scooters and people are commuting wearing t-shirts and shorts and flip flops on their feet. I always wonder why they don't wear more gear while riding a scooter. Pavement hurts at any speed.<br /><br />I would rather sweat and look 'dorky' than bleed.<br /><br />Oh yeah, and I have wondered where that lone shoe comes from. Now I'll be a little sad when I see one in the street.<br /><br />Great write-up Dar.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.com
