What I Look for in Motorcycle Boots
I have blogged over the years about motorcycle boots, and some of my posts have gone into a lot of detail about choices men can make for motorcycle boots. Rather than write another tome, let me answer a question from a regular reader:
You know a lot about boots and you ride a motorcycle everyday. So give me the scoop, boil it down for me — what does Booted Harleydude consider when he is looking at new motorcycle boots?

Boots — Choosing Quality
I sincerely appreciate that several people wrote to me after my blog post titled, “Not the Ordinary Gay Guy’s Blog,” with suggestions about what I can write about. Stephen commented,

Darwin-Award Contenders on Motorcycles
I drove (a cage) up to Pittsburgh and back this weekend, when my spouse and I returned his mother to her home after visiting with us for a week.
While driving, both on the interstate and around her home town, I couldn’t help but notice guys on motorcycles. After all, it is summer!
Trouble is, most men on motorcycles were not bikers, but were…
