I have to ride in full boots due a past injury. For support reasons I wear a hinged boot that rubs on my clutch cover. Doesn't look quite as cool as it did when it was new but it beats not having an ankle!

Separated my foot from my ankle on a mod 50 wearing shoes (broke both sides completely off, only skin / ligaments were holding it together). Now I have a plate and screws holding my ankle together.



You learn to ride in boots, just takes a few rides but well worth it in the end, wish I would have done it sooner, at least all my friends have realized it and started riding in boots.

WOW!



What a difference a nice set of graphics and a couple of stickers make...That don't look the same bike now....It looked loads better in basic Honda graphics in my opinion.



Best of luck in the competition mate - looks like you are gonna take the win at the minute.

I did exactly the same thing a couple of years back racing Supermoto mini bikes indoor..I was wearing boots - but still managed to break both bones in my lower leg!



All par for the course really - ride bikes long enough and you are sure to break a few things

Geoff, I can't get why so few people voted for your awesome DRZ70... custom made adaptations... whether in black, stock yellow... or fully covered with mud, your fiddy looks great...



Originality, that's what i'm talking about!

I think some get blinded by the bling of BBR Perimeter frames



Obviously I have built quite a few mini bikes and monkey bikes over the years and I knew what I wanted to achieve from the project.



Having said that, a lot of thought went into the build as nobody had done one before.



I was really happy with the finished bike to be honest..both the geometry and the ride is spot on in my opinion.



For me a mini bike has to run the size wheel it was made with to be a true "mini bike"....But hey...I am Old School..I still ride a z50 on 8's...That's me in my avatar



Thanks for the vote and the positive feedback though mate - much appreciated.
