The spurs will interfere with your job. If you get a piece of toilet paper stuck on one of them, it will trail for 1/2 mile. You should attach them to your hardhat.

Congrats on the promotion, I guess it's safe to bite your fingernails again.

You need some of these, all the rest are poor imitations.

Ah....if my wife asked me to get spurs I'd be a bit supprised, if my boss, he wanted me to get spurs I'd be worried....just a thought.

Either way, sounds like your having waaay to much fun...

Congrats on the promotion.

I think..

This past August I was up on Bear Tooth Pass and actually saw a rough tough bikerman wearing a spur on his right boot. Nothing on his left boot. I asked him what the deal was with just the one spur and he was trying to explain it to me and once he got to the part about being from SoCal, I figured I had heard enuff. He was also partial to skulls, was wearing a SOA doo-rag and had a "get-back" whip hanging from the Sportster he was overloading. Soooo, I guess spurs are approved riding gear now.

Spurs? Only in the bedroom and not too sure that you should share that here.
