I'm going on vacation for 5 days.
Have a great week!
New AlpineStars Boots
As part of the 2008 lineup for AStars, these are 2 boots that Scuderia is going to carry soon! Unfortunately they're not waterproof or water resistant; strictly fall/spring/summer riding.
Stella Torre / List $239.95
Stella Armada/ List $269.95:
Something about the Armadas that make me want them, bad. I like the fact that the zipper stops about 3 inches from the top of the boot so you can use the velcro closure to adjust for your calves. If I didn't adore my Daytonas so much, I might consider these! Let me know if you end up getting a pair, I'd love to hear how they are.
Bad Blogger, Bad and Tshirts!
It's been a slow 2 weeks. I haven't been motivated to write and wanted to make sure that I posted a little something before leaving for Orlando this weekend. (Yep, Mickey, Minnie, the whole deal).
NewEnough has Oxtar Sunray boots on sale for $129! That's a fantastic deal, as the average price in stores is about ~$160-$170. I've had a couple pairs of these boots and they're very warm, durable and super super comfortable to walk in. I easily worked 8 hours in these with no problem. They also have a Gore-Tex liner and are waterproof and will keep your feet toasty and warm. If you're looking for boots to give you an extra lift, these will help ~0.5" or so. If you need more, Daytonas are the way to go.
I'm also working on an idea to design women's moto tshirts. Not the cutesy, cheesy 'biker bitch' type of shirts with bikini clad cartoon women on the back of a motorcycle. But, something that even a woman who doesn't ride would wear. Not overtly sexual, but simple, classy and stylish. I'm working with a very talented graphic designer to come up with a couple of designs and hope to have some available by next month to purchase. My goal is to come up with a line of shirts that are going to really be representative of the sophisticated female motorcyclist. She's a modern rider, takes the sport seriously and wants to wear something that represents this kind of attitude.
But of course, is also really cute and cool to wear! I hope to post some mockups when my designer gets back to me this weekend with ideas.
