1. Low side crash
Sooo....I just got these boots and on my first ride I low sided at about 35 mph. New bike with new tires and it just slid out from under me....grrrr.... Now granted, this wasn't a high speed crash, but the boots did their job and I walked away no problem. There was a pretty big scuff on the toe box where I think the rear brake lever hit. I just went out for a short ride on local streets and I almost didn't put these boots on. So glad I did otherwise I'm sure my foot would have been messed up. I was also wearing the Scorpion Ravin Leather Pants and jacket. Both of those performed well too, except I did have some bruising on my hip bone. I'm going to upgrade to some armored shorts to wear under the pants. So all in all, I got a bruised hip and bruised ego...could have been much worse. "All the gear, all the time"....so true...ride safe out there!
