Harley Davidson Boots Can Protect Your Toes As Well As (jordan sneakers) Keep Your Feet Temperate.
No commentsBy Michael Alden
I am thankful I had a first-class pair of motorbike boots on as I was out motorbike riding on my previous road excursion.
The day started out cloudy and a bit cool as I headed out to get together with a few associates for a day run up in the mountains. Because of the coolness I decided to dress in a hooded sweatshirt, leather-based motorcycle jacket also chaps. I also determined to put on a good quality pair of steel toed motorcycle boots to help keep my feet toasty and dried out. Of course! I did wear my helmet as well. Hey, I am no dummy, how else was I going to keep my ears snug. So at any rate, I met up with my friends, drank a cup of coffee and we hit the road.
Visibility wasn’t terrible except for the drizzle that kept forming on my visor. I would wipe the rain off and in approximately a half of a instant the drizzle would coat my visor again. It was a little difficult to see, but we rode on.
Because of the mist the streets shined and had a slippery layer on them. We weren’t going over the speed limit of 45 mph but do to the highway conditions that was amply rapid.
My friend Jim was the head motorcycle Sammy was next and I was third. Jim singled with the intention to stop for fuel, so at the next place we stopped. We all fueled up got one more cup of coffee, chatted and horsed around a bit whilst we drank the coffee, then started out again.
Boy it felt fantastic to finally have my motorbike out of the garage after the lingering winter weather we had. Isn’t it always so pleasant that first bike ride of the year?
Finally after roughly an hour and a half into the ride the sun began to shine. It had hardly started to peek through the clouds when out of nowhere a station wagon full of young people pulled out from a side street exactly in front of us.
Jim saw it coming and was able to turn sharply to the left scarcely in time to avoid it and go past. Sammy saw it a tad late and laid his motorcycle down. His bike slid under the mini-van while Sammy slid on the street just to the right of the small bus.
Unhappily for me, I was the last to notice the small bus and by the time I did, I was already soaring over the top. Yeah that’s right; I collide with it straight in the side door and was projected over the top subsequently landed on my face on the other side.
I thumped the road violently, slid for about forty five feet, then my motorcycle boot caught the side of a hole or something and I started to flip like a rag doll. When my motorcycle boot jammed on what ever it did, it felt like my lower leg had just been ripped off.
I finally came to rest face first in the oncoming traffic lane. Its’ a good thing there was no approaching traffic at that time. It’s also a good thing for helmets, leather jackets, leather chaps and full finger leather gloves.
I am specially grateful for steel toed leather motorcycle boots though, for the reason that the pothole I hit, turned out to be a pothole on the edge of a steel manhole cover, so when my foot caught it, half of the leather got taken off of form the toe. The steel toe part was there but the cow hide was gone. I am thankful because, with out the steel toe part of the motorcycle boot, more than likely I would have lost my toes, if not my whole foot.
I got fortunate! I ended up with only a few bruises. I didn’t even break a bone. I presume I can attribute it to fate, but I know sporting the right motorcycle boots and attire had a large amount to do with it.
