I will be getting a set of black white and yellow Alpinestars leathers,
white and black Alpinestars MRX boots with red trim, and blue and white
Alpinestars glove to go with a yellow Shoei helmet. I mean, how can you
not love boots that look like this:

The looks of SiDi boots have certainly changed - these are what I use
for cool weather and rain riding:

Lorica uppers (just like SiDi cycling shoes).

As a fan of Holstein-Frisian cows, I am sad that this color combination
and Gore-Tex is not available:

Oh well, the white is probably a PITA to keep clean.

Hey Mikey,

Is that something you learned in JAIL?

How does it feel to have a criminal record?
