Picking up a set of these bad boys today

Post by z900/zx9 »

Well after a long service my sidi vertebra race boots all the fittings are pretty much toast,so upgrading to sidi Vortice. Was thinking i may just replace all the support systems on my verterbra boots but thought i like my feet and ankles so screw it. most people want $650 but came accross some for $580.Local guys too which is better than sending my money overseas.Unfortunatly my normal guys are not sidi stockists therefore not on the dealers special price list and i dont really feel right about asking them to drop there price by $70.00.As well as that i wanted to check size so 2 sets boots would have had to be ordered.

I didn't like the Sidis, thought it was too much work with all the buckles etc. to put them on, I ended up getting myself a pair of Alpinestar Supertech R boots from Italy which were delivered the same week for $90 less than I could find them in Sydney! :roll:

Yep checked out rocky mouintain $495 plus freight is $585.00,as there freight is value based they were $5.00 dearer than local.
I looked at the cheaper models even the ST but decieded to go with the vortice.Picked them up pretty happy so far only a short ride home but so far so good.

I recently bought a pair of SIDI Vertigo's for $223 delivered from:

http://www.fc-moto.de/epages/fcm.sf/sec ... -Blue-0001

My SIDI Vertebrae's lasted 10 years & were looking pretty second hand. My workmate has a pair of VORTICE but for road riding only i didn't need all the bells & whistles so opted for the VERTIGO's. :kuda:

Love my SIDI's, yeah takes a little bit to work out the straps on them but now it takes no time and they fit well.

Best part is you look very race and that helps psyc out the others apparently :lol:
