Got my new boots today and some new touring gloves, I'm ready to roll.

Went to IP today and pick up a pair of the A_stars Web GoreTex for $169 on clearance, they were marked higher but i told him about my quote from Nate and they gave me a match after tax. Also picked up a pair of A_stars DryStar touring gloves on clearance for $35 too. So thanks for all the info and recommendations.

You really have no clue do you? YouTube trucks or semis on the Dragon.

Ok I guess it's not confirmed but they are 90% sure. Sorry I was at work and was getting bits and pieces of info

Just found out 5 min ago that my wife's father too has cancer. He found out that he has mesothelioma. My wife is not close to him due to choices that he made, but it still hurts her all the same.

Always said if I got another pup it would be a lab. But we have two small dogs now that will probably be gone about the time time the kids are out of the house and we would like to be ableto do things then without having to find house or pet sitters.

I think I'm going to like the sidetone, our headsets at work do that and I really like the feed back it gives you

Sorry for your family's loss and +1 on FUCK CANCER!

5.0 is now released..look like the best one yet Sena Technologies, Inc. released the firmware version 5.0 of the SMH10 with major enhancements in functions and features such as Universal Intercom and Advanced Noise Control™. - Universal Intercom: You can have an intercom conversation with non-Sena Bluetooth headsets using the Universal Intercom™ function. - Advanced Noise Control™: It is equipped with wind noise suppression and intelligent Noise Gate in the intercom to limit the interference of wind noise and background noise while riding. - Sidetone: If this feature is enabled, you can hear what you are speaking during an intercom conversation or a phone call. You can upgrade your firmware using the new Device Manager v1.4.4 for Windows and v1.9.4 for Mac users. http://senabluetooth.com/sena-released-smh10-firmware-version-5-0/

Alpinestars Web Gore-Tex Boots are the front runners. Four different people have recommended them and Nate gave me a kick ass price on them, I just need to go somewhere and try a pair on.

I'm always in for grey shirts, I think 90% of my shirts are grey..lol

If IP is close on price ill get them there, but RD usually blows them out of the water. I know they have over head and all that but maybe they should be a little more competitive on pricing.

yup crush protection is the number one thing, plus most moto boots have a extra rigid ankle area to help protect from road abrasion and twist. plus all the other stuff Poke said

i figured I would end up doing that, go there try on every pair they have till i find what i want then order from RD

Quoted for truff!!!

did see some X-Action's for $120 that sparked my interest

Total blank slate right now but i'm looking for waterproof touring boots in 11 or 12(45 or 46) size(depends on the brand)..is there anything that stands out to you on biggest kick ass deals or any thing you would recommend? Looking to stay in the $150 or less range

what the pros and cons of a duty boot vs. and dedicated motorcycle touring boot?

the TCX look pricey

need to get some new boots for the trip and get them broke in, i started a thread asking for help maybe some of you touring pros can chime in.... http://ohioriders.net/index.php?/topic/104001-boot-shopping/

My old Joe Rocket Big Bangs have seen better days after 3 seasons, so time to upgrade. I'm looking for waterproof touring boots that will also work for everyday riding. Dont really need them insulated due to the fact that i'm a fair weather rider. Like to stay at or below $150( can go higher and hope to find them on sale or cheaper through Nate). Let me know what y'all have or have tried or recommend. GO!...................

I prob still have several

I hate you, now I want to take a few extra days off and continue with you.

I'll have my Garmin on my bike also if a backup is needed

I'm the slow of the slow, ask anyone. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
