    Planning a Canada Ride w/Friends next August - Recommendations?

    Aside from mods, etc . . . You really need to check the Canadian motorcycle laws/requirements.

    Gortex LIned Boots . . .

    Deacon - Thanks! That kinda confirms my dilemma between the two - I love the look of the Sidi Adventures but they look big and a bit bulky, great looking boot but probably a bit much for the FJR. I'm fairly committed to getting the Sidi On Roads shortly. Appreciate your input . . . it's big...

    Tall Riders!

    Gortex LIned Boots . . .

    That was my thought . . . or most likely conclusion. I just pulled the insoles I had been using out and the boots are still damp & wet under the insole . . . poop. I've been looking at the Sidi "On Road Gortex" boots as a replacement . . . the Sidi "Adventure Gortex" are appealing, but look...

    Gortex LIned Boots . . .

    Yeah . . . the soles are getting fairly close to a "re-do" . . . thinking about the Sidi Adventure Gortex . . . although a new pair of TCX (Oxtar) Infinities aren't out of the questions either . . .

    Gortex LIned Boots . . .

    I have a pair of Oxtar Infinities (now TCX boots) that are 5 years old . . . they are gortex lined and have always been waterproof. I've been through some nasty rain storms and full days of riding in the rain . . . they've always stayed dry. Well with about 5 years and 40,000 miles on them...
