Having Fun

Guy at work asked me when I was going to replace my crappy boots. I told him that these are not crappy boots. These are boots that have a symbol of freedom and pure enjoyment on them! I sure do love riding!!!

Tell em to watch Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. Those boots have plenty of miles left in em. I don't see any duck tape on em yet.

Well I remember seeing a guy with steel toe boots on where the leather on the toes were worn so bad it was just the steel toe showing on both boots. I have no problem having boots that are all scratched and scuffed with cuts, but I have to draw the line somewhere lol. I tend to keep boots almost 5 years of daily use before I even consider replacing them. Still have plenty of "miles" left but I usually like new boots every few years even if I don't need new ones. At least for boots I'd wear on a daily basis, I have a pair of "dress boots" that are 5 years old but I've only wore about 10 times at the most.

I own Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man! Good movie! Mickey Rorke and Don Johnson! Classic! I'd say those boots have a few more miles on them, your toe isnt showing through yet!
