Yep. Any Dainese TR- or Torque boot is going to have proper lateral support. If you have a wide foot you're poo poo out of luck, though.

M42 posted:I'm kind of in the same boat. "What boots with lateral protection come in a size 37?" lmfao, none. SMX + is as close as I'll be able to get. I have heard that pregnancy often causes a woman's foot to get larger. Just have a few kids and your motorcycle footwear options will dramatically improve! If only guys had it so easy.

M42 posted:^ Agreed about the smx plus vs smx 6. BTW your av rules, ancienttv thanks  -Inu- posted:Depends what you're looking for in a boot. More details? What version of the SMX+ are you referring to? My older squeaky ones definitely had some flex, but I feel like the amount of fold on the newer ones is pretty much within acceptable ranges. Although tbh I haven't tried to bend them since I bought them so I could be remembering incorrectly.

Dunno too much about boots, I got a pair of Daytona M-Stars and I swear I could die happy in them. Any opinions about gauntlet gloves? I got a pair of Tourmaster Synergy 2.0 heated gauntlets and wired them up. They're fantastic for cold weather but the gauntlet style makes it a huge pain in the rear end to wear over my Dainese jacket (and I think I got them a size too large), and I can't return it because I've already hard-wired the 12v controller into my bike. I'm thinking of getting a pair of the Gyde by Gerbing 12v Heros, since it has a short cuff and armored knuckles, but I don't know if I should just be getting used to the gauntlets instead. (Also, I'm assuming I can use the Tourmaster power harness for Gerbing gear since it all seems like the same kind of poo poo as far as the wiring goes.)

I'm surprised Verge needs a helmet at all. I would have thought his head would be well protected considering how far up his own rear end it is.

Once upon a time Slavvy had a very noisy ninja 1000. This is a bike that would do 160km/h in first so it seemed reasonable for me to come down my street at ~50 in first gear. My neighbour had other ideas and decided that giving me a lecture wasn't enough, so she proceeded to stalk me on my commute to 'catch me in the act'. This drama dragged on for a couple of weeks, the cops got involved, I got a ticket and a bunch of sternly worded (and often nonsensical) warnings over the phone, one of which was to tell me that I'd been 'spotted' riding a red dirtbike over a footbridge near my house despite my having no red bikes or dirt bikes. Meanwhile her family were no more than a month ago rolling around on illegal quads, blotto as anything, with their little kids sitting helmetless in their laps up and down the street like it ain't no thang. Along with her meth addict nephew/son who routinely takes a barely-functioning 50cc Chinese pit bike to the shops down the road.

What the gently caress? I'd say your neighbors sound like Americans, but I had an R1 with a shorty pipe on it (see: loud as gently caress) and nobody complained to me. What kind of ticket did you get for that?

FWIW, my friend just wrecked her harley wearing no more protective gear than an Alpinestars Vika jacket and a Reevu helmet, 50mph into a median. Both held up admirably She's okay minus a hosed up knee and a bruised rib and my insistence that she never disobeys ATGATT again.

I think slavvy should consider living/partying with Mexicans.

I actually got a few things threatened at me but in the end they just pinged me on having expired tax on the zx10 because I wasn't actually doing anything wrong and I guess they realised that in the end. Also got a stern recommendation from a cop, over the phone, that when it rains I should consider alternative transport because it's really dangerous!

Except for the wet underwear thing, my FZ6 handles rain better than my stupid 01 Ranger. It can't turn without losing the rear, and the brakes are scary on that loving thing. Also it's a 4L V6 so flooring it makes it burn out at 40-50 because lol pickups suck at things that aren't carrying other things. e: That or Yokohama Geolandars suck rear end, idk.

It's been flooding here for the last couple weeks and it's just constantly wet, so I'm not too surprised. If you pop out the pinlock, clean the inside of your visor and the pinlock well, then dry them, you should be right as (no) rain again.

My pinlock forms to the visor after a few months, losing the tension that makes it seal properly. I have to take it out and put some heavy books on it to flatten it out.

I get the same thing on the GT Air pinlock, but it usually takes some heavy conditions. One thing that worked last year which I should do again is using that little bottle of silicone oil they give you for the main gasket on the gasket of the pinlock. My first one also just didnt seat all the way in because the silicone gasket on the pinlock was uneven. I showed it to the dealer I bought it from and they just grabbed a new one for me. Then they noticed a bunch were like that. I do have one of the earliest GT Airs, and when I spoke to their guy at the motorcycle show last year he said the first ones out had a thinner gasket (which was why mine was whistling at high speed) and they'd replace it for free if I sent my helmet in, but I figured its easier to just deal with it than pay for shipping and be without the helmet for a few weeks. So I wouldnt be surprised if there were other minor early production issues like the crooked pinlock silicone which may have been worked out by now. This one has 30k miles on it and is still mostly fine, the main gasket is getting a bit cracked in a few places, I'll probably be buying a new one in that red phoenix pattern soon.
