A Motorcycle Christmas
I don’t know how I did it, but I somehow managed to pull about $200 out of thin air to go towards Hubby’s Christmas presents. I figured that means I really need to get him something nice and motorcycle related since he’s had such a crappy bike year. He is getting the double bubble that he wants, but now I really need to come up with something nice. I definitely still can’t afford the pipe he wants, but there’s got to be something I can get him.
If I can’t find something that will go on the bike itself I might end up getting him another pair of riding boots. He loves the ones he has, the Icon Field Armor boots, but they’re really too bulky. They’re made to look good, but they’re totally not made to ride well. Being so chunky makes it really hard to shift, and even after adjusting his shifter and his pegs he still has to squeeze his foot in there to shift.
Speaking of boots, I found a really cute pair of Classic UGGs I might add to my wishlist. I’m normally not a big fan of UGGs, but this one pair I found, the women’s Mayfaire in Western Brown Sheepskin, just stole my heart.
Anywho, back to bike talk. I know Hubby likes Icon boots, but I really would like to get him a pair of Alpinestars boots. They might not be as comfortable as his Field Armor boots (I know they wouldn’t be), but they’d be better for riding. The problem is he can never try them on to see how they fit because none of the bike shops around here carry boots big enough for his size 13s. They call carry size 10 as their floor models. I might just order him a pair anyway.
