i was wondering how u guys broke in ur boots because i just picked up a pair yesterday and there stiff as hell

**blak-metl** · 06-05-2005, 11:17 AM

wear them, and then wear them some more. if you are not doing anything around the house, put them on. thats what I did.

I've only put about 2 hours riding time in mine and I love them! For me it just took more getting used to riding in boots than breaking them in...

+1 on getting used to em. now it feels like they belong on the bike.

I got the same boots last week, it's takes a little time to get used to fitting my big foot under the clutch.

Holy crap!! You must be pretty flexible!

I wore mine at home once in a while and they're great. Still alittle tight around the calf though.

Try a stairmaster

It'd work but you'll get a work out too...

do you guys where leather pants to or do you wear these under jeans? cause at this point i havent found a suit nor have i found a pair of paints to match my tz-1, im 6'7" 175 so its kinda hard

**RookWV** · 06-22-2005, 12:37 AM

Leathers....Astars GPU 2 piece / JR Highside 2pc / Spyke Eagle (I think) 2pc....

You may want to check out Barnacle Bill or Z Customs and get some leather pants made, it'll be easier than trying to find off the rack pants that fit.

Send 'em to me for the weekend.

I'll pass them around amongst the other racers and myself.

If they're still in one piece and the toes aren't too ground down after the weekend of racing then they should be broken in just fine.
