Kickers
Yay! My new boots arrived in the post from the States today - I bought them with my birthday money, and they have been designated my new 'scooter boots', coming, as they do, with steel toecaps and all. Handy for kicking anyone who cuts me up too...
Unfortunately, they did cost me a little more than I'd intended thanks to HM Customs and Excise charging me an extra £13 VAT and a parcelforce 'clearance fee' of £14. Actually, now I think about it - how do a pair of $84 (£47) boots attract VAT of £12.90??
- They'll get their first outing later today, when I ride out to Tulse Hill with Jez to pick up his new scoot...

Stay safe fella. I have come off my bike a number of times and your ankles are one of the main body parts to get shaken rattled and rolled. Especially when your leg gets stuck under the bike which is sliding down the road at 30mph. If it isn't a propper biker boot be wary.. Maybe next time go for a pair of Sidi's or Alpinestars?

I quite agree, but there's always been a fine line between fashion and safety on a Vespa. While I may not take the fine suit and desert boots approach of the original mods, I do think I'd look a bit of a plonker in full-on biker boots. ;)
