FS: SIDI Vertigo Corsa Race Boots - Like New - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

04ImolaZHP · 23rd May 2007, 05:55

Hi guys, the sale continues. Up next are my pretty much new SIDI Vertigo Corsa Race Boots. I wore them maybe a half a dozen times at the most. They look new. Smell new. Feel new. I would say they are definitely not even broken in. These are top of the line SIDI and arguably one of the best on the market. Paid $395 for them late last year from an authorized dealer. No one discounts these so a shipped price of $325 for like new boots seems fair. Size 9.5 USA and 43 european.

Here are some pics:

Dang your small feet! If they were 12.5 I would be all over them, shopping for new boots right now.

Goodluck on the sale! If they dont go PM me and I can link to one of my riding groups.

You giving up riding altogether? Funny thing is...I've been debating doing the same. I'm just not riding as much as I used to. Too much traffic on any day in my area just to get to the backroads or out in the country. Wanted to do some track days, but free time is too far in between lately. Plus, I'd much rather be driving the Beast.

I don't know... I think this may be my last year with the bike.

actually yes, that is the intention. i made a decision that it was not worth the effort for me personally anymore. i used to be the "shorts and t-shirt" type rider and over the years figured out that no protection is stupid. So went out and got a summer jacket/pants; fall jacket/pants; race suit; helmets, boots etc. lately it was taking me 10+ minutes to put everything on. and it caused me to ride it less and less.

and then, when i got my m5 last year it showed me that cars CAN be fun =). i have since driven some other really cool cars like 911's, vettes, etc. and now made a decision to sell the bike and most likely will get an m3 vert.

i still love the sport but dont have the time nor money to just purely race and am done being a target for all the cagers out there with no protection. so it was either 20 minutes of putting gear on every time i ride, or no gear. i figured, neither was right for me. and my bike only had 2,500 mi on it so it just did not make sense.

like my suit for sale - brand new. my boots for sale - virtually brand new.

oh, well. i almost cried

when the guy rode off with my bike but what are you gonna do.

What size are you?
I am 6'1" 170#. Looking for new head to toe gear...

Sorry to see you are getting out of riding. I hadn't put any miles on the bike since I got my M5 back in January. Went out this past weekend for ~1200 miles and had such a great time, reminded me of my #1 love

(after wife of course)

this is strange when i read the thread.why??? because i to ride my bike less then i used to from the moment that i got my m5. that proves the point that our cars have something magical i would say.i was i guy who would sleep with the bike (passionate ),but since i got the m the bike is sitting in the livingroom as a object.my friends always ask ,where's the bike ?did you sell it ? always say nope its at home and they cant understand why . i just tell them i got a car thats almost as fast ,got a radio,airco,and i can sit relaxed when its hot outside.always getting some strange looks afterwards

.

the boots are great, i got them to ,only worn twice

. i got the white ones , and love the ceramic sliders in front and the adjusters at the foot and back side.great buy . hope you can sell yours ,so somebody will have some good footprotection.worth every buck$$
