Steel toes are great. Yeah if they crush they cut your toes off, but the same or worse would happen if you didn't have steel toes. FIY there's lots of Motorcycle boots that have steel toes as well. So lets ignore that part and look at the other differences. Only arguments against work boots for me are. That Motorcycle "BOOTS" typically have the ankle armor, most work boots, and motorcycle "shoes" do not. Also the construction, yes work boots are tough but most are not designed for being flung and shredded down the highway. I've seen first hand how some of the toughest seeming work boots shred, come apart at the stitching, or more often lacing, sometimes with cheaper boots the sole gets ripped off. Proper Motorcycle boots should be designed to not come apart in a high speed crash, as well as to protect the ankle from a crushing impact of the motorcycle. work boots are not designed for ether. Yes cheap work boots from Walmart are better then sneakers or flip flops, No they are not as good as motorcycle boots, maybe around close to motorcycle shoes. If you can't afford proper motorcycle boots then work boots are better then nothing till you can. If you prefer work boots to motorcycle boots, I recommend, steel or compost toe, real stitched soles not the cheap glue on kind from Walmart, and the more padding and support around the ankle the better, of course thicker leather is better, some boots also have the leather guard around the shoelaces that's good to. Keep in mind, this is coming from someone that off roads a metric cruiser wearing leather converse shoes. Everything you do in life has a risk, decide what your comfortable risking.

Thank you brother just bought the same pair of boots only for $20 at Walmart I didn’t have a pair for my first motorcycle class and didn’t have much money good to know that work boots will cut it have a good brother God bless you

Great info

My guy it’s tub o towel. You keep saying turbo towel.

That bike is so freaking beautiful.

Great point of view. I have to agree with you. Thanks!

Ive got carbon fiber toe tips. Mythbusters also did a episode on this

Save up or dont ride

Not under Any circumstances,They're Not designed for motorcycles and given prices of decent Safety boots they are No were near in comparison to proper motorcycle boots. Yeah,maybe 20years ago but nowadays motorcycle boots are essentially for Safety and steel cap boots are dangerous operating your gear leaver brakes. I've had both boots and steel cap safety boots are horrible to ride with and hey this just my opinion. I have several motorcycle boots for the various touring,day trips and off road and they've lasted a lot longer than safety boots given you don't walk miles and miles but that's the difference in design and functionalities.

thx for the vid bud..well done

Carbon toe work boots won't stay crushed

This is excellent! I'm most impressed with your willingness to fall even WITH the drop guards. My issue is that I have the drop guards but I'm still too afraid to fall and to trust them. I have also fallen a couple of times and wrenched my ankle. What I've noticed is that you have disciplined yourself to STAY ON THE BIKE when you fall. You don't put your foot down. If I can get to that, then the real learning begins. Thanks for the inspiration.

They say that the steel cap would crush or penetrate your toes in a crash but I dont know about that. But yea motorcycle casual hi top trainers or boots say "reinforced toe box and heel" whatever that means, even if it goes right back to shape its probably gonna crush your toe anyway so why bother buying one. I'm trying to bend my safety hi top work boots both ways but I cant and thats good. Its all marketing bull crap I think.

How did you get them wheels chromed? Would love to have mine worked on too. Thanks!

There ain't no f****** way I'm trusting my feet to 32 pair of boots f****** Walmart

Very well explained. As an engineer, I totally agree on the fact that the force required to break the steel cap (not crush) would not be achieved through bike crashes. 2500 pounds of force wouldn’t be attained through it.

Are you still finding these towels the best way to clean your white walls and are you still using them?

My clutch won’t spring back regardless how much I tighten it up

I got a hard toe boots, knee pads, mechanic gloves with knuckle gaurds.

They always give you the worst bikes,, Las Vegas by the strip. Is a rip off...

what brand is seat?

I think you also have to look at the geographics and demographics of both Jerry and Greg. Jerry is a retired motorcycle cop and lives in Florida. In his area, you have a lot of older Boomers with high income who have little or no riding experience going out and buying something like a Road King for their first bike. Florida, with its flat roads and level landscape, can lull many of these riders into a false sense of security and they don't realize how much trouble they can quickly find themselves in. From what I have seen in watching his videos, Jerry seems to cater well to this demographic. I don't think Greg has the patience for these types of riders and believes that they should start out on something smaller and move up as their skills increase. However, many of these guys think that their age and life experience somehow equal motorcycle expertise. Also, in San Diego, the riding is a lot different in that the roads are twistier and vary in elevation. In addition, the rider demographic is different trending younger and more to adventure and sport bikes. Many of these riders are also inexperienced but are not as rigid in their thinking as the older guys that buy a big cruiser for their first bike. Greg being about 40 with a background in the Marine Corps can more easily relate to these riders.

I went to Walmart and bought a set of the stackable flat athletic cones. Sure beats cutting tennis balls in half, and they come with a stacker, so they store easy in the saddlebag along with a 50-foot crank ruler and a few pieces of chalk).

What are those pipes ?? Are the baffles out

Happy new year im happy cause you like chopper motorbikes but we wait a new video about fitness channel

I own the 2014 Yamaha Stryker, and I love it, so I can only imagine this beast. Harley What ? EDIT : Eveything YAMAHA makes is top shelf. I play a Yamaha bass through a Yamaha bass amp.

You're right! To have an accident with working boots and have that kind of amputation, it requires for that accident to be as forceful as well as to come at the angle where the steel toe would be at its weakest point to crush the steel, whereas having just normal boots with a soft toe, there are more way to have a bad injury in an accident because wherever it hits, it will crush. I guess my only concern now would be if I can get underneath the gear change to make changes without difficulties. I ride a Sportster...

I wanted to like this video, but you currently have the perfect amount of likes. Great job!

Nice bike, I ride a Road Star. Yamaha makes good cruisers...

I’ve been looking for motorcycle “boots” and given the ridiculous prices (or crazy track focussed looks) I’m also going for safety boots. Proper soles, full grain leather, some padding on the ankles, and then toe caps (steel or other solid materials) & in my mind you’ve pretty much got the same coverage as “bike boots”.

how much cost you to chrome both tires?

Your study is great, i have been using safety boot , it not only keeps safe your foot but also helps in griping the loose floor . It’s a great idea and it works. 👍

Bike’s a stunner! Any idea what make is your friend’s helmet? Hope y’all ignored the idiotic helmet comment made eight months ago.

Would have been nice if you had flipped the bloody video, otherwise, thanks for the info.

i still have my raider since 2012. i dont think im ever gonna ger rid of it

That’s a Hemi on that bike!

Good angle.

Thanks brother 😊 you amazing

The 2023 Kawasaki Vulcan 1900 only has 60 HP

I seem to have this problem too on my Dyna.

I have been riding my 2004 RoadStar Midnight for 19 years with about 60K miles of smiles. It has never been to the shop. If the Raider, with the extra power turns out to be just as reliable, it is a keeper for sure. It is nice not being part of the herd.

i have a raider also i love it im also from florida. love the bike it looks great

I too have a 2011 raider and I’m not liking how slow my bike starts. Thinking I might have to do what you did for the starter and really along with a new battery..

All fair reasons. I got 3 bikes falling on my feet I was wearing safety dielectric boots, it’s plastic but they worked fine my toes are intact. It’s actually the laces that you don’t want to have. and no protection for the ankle or torsion.

Where do you get your small helmets?

I will put whitewalls on next change. I don't mind cleaning rims,,it's just a pain to get to tires. I'll look for that product though.

Where u get your front fender???

rock on man imma try this

thanks

Sweet
