New track boots required [Archive]

Hi all,
I need to buy a new set of boots for the track as I pretty much ruined my Alpinestars SMX-R's on Saturday's EC trackday (ground through the toe sliders and into the boot :( ).
Anyway, I quite like these and wouldn't mind getting another pair or maybe the new Puma boots. Does anyone know where I can get either of these for a very good price, before OP this coming Saturday?
Thanks

Hi Ray,
Yep, that's them. I've got the 2006 all black one's. Where is the cheapest place in Sydney to get a new pair? Can you get the titanium toe sliders for these as well?
Cheers

Bugger Alex.... just got back from Italy, I could have got you a pair relatively cheap. The Alpinestar SMX4 go for 160 Euros over there (266 AU$).

With 15 AU$ more you can get the top of the range from Oxtar that aren't too bad (Oxtar TCS-EVO).

Check the prices over here and let me know. I'm planning to have a couple of things shipped to Australia, and we could consider to put all in the same box.
If you're after different models/brands we can find anything you want but you've to be 100% sure on the size you're after.

Thanks for the offer Dan. I wish I ground them out before you left on your last trip.

What i've also been looking for is a Termignoni exhaust for the 749. The model that i'm after (SKU code #96445905B) costs about $5.5kAU which is VERY expensive in my eyes.
Do you know anywhere in Italy where I can get it much cheaper?

Ive had a pair of GEARNE for about 3 years.

They are getting a bit thin on the soles and on the sides and I`m really up for a new pair.

No doubt what brand I will be getting.

My bro and I both wear Gaerne and they are exellent. They are a thinner fit than the Alpinestars so if you have a big wide foot it may not work for you. These are the top of the line race boots I think. They come in other colours but I can't find any pics.

They look nice. Where can I get either Gaerne or Sidi race boots in Sydney at a good price? I'd order them online however I don't think they would arrive by Saturday.

JohnB

03-10-2007, 02:32 PM

I got my gaernes from MCAS in Parramatta. They have an online site that I think you can order them at. I'd recomend trying them on. I tried on Alpinestars but they didn't fit as good on me as the Gaernes. Good luck mate, I hope they fit ya well. I've seen Sidi boots at heaps of places, so you should have no drama getting them but the gaernes were a bit harder to find.

So, how come you're scraping ya boots everywhere?

I think it's just my riding style on the track. Toe and knee sliders don't seam to last long :o

I have 2 pair of Gaerne boots, touring & track. Both are a few years old & going very strong. As JB mentioned, they are a little tight across the toes but loosen up after a little riding. Purchased mine from MCA's in Liverpool, if they don't have the right size, get them to call Parramatta & the City shop to check.

Might need to think about your foot position if you are wearing through them. Up on your toes a bit more :mod_smilie_rockwoot

Bro, they are sick! ;-)

They are $230 US + Shipping.

Problem is, the only black boots with vents are sidi vertigo's which are $350 US minimum! In hind sight I should have paid the premium even though I knew they would be dirty within a month.

SIDI Vertigo
173.5 Euros + Shipping (thats 275 AU$ + shipping)

Yeah, OK. Vertigo Corsa are beautiful!!!!!

What I normally see here in Sydney, in the shops that have them, are the "normal" Vertigo though, and they go for 450 - 500 AU$ :hatter: .
So I don't dare to imagine what the Vertigo Corsa would sell for :confused:

Do you know how much shipping is Dan ????

I'm not sure as I normaly carry the stuff myself. It goes with weight, and if I'm not wrong it should be around the 80AU$ for a 3 Kg box; but in this kind of things it would be better to share freight among 3/4 people, or you wait I go over there next time :)

I got a pair of the Oxtar Troy Bayliss replica boots.

They're heaps comfortable, no complaints here.

Think I paid $450 for them.
