And here's my sporty.

Deep breath, knife out…...... and the tags are gone. I think it was unnecessary and cheapened the boot.

Just recieved my 8" moc toes today, first pair of Thorogoods for me, superb boots!

Info that might be of use for the uk guys. I take a uk 10 in most shoes Adidas, nike, etc in Redwings I went for a US 10 (UK 9) and did the same for the Thorogoods. Straight out of the box they are a better fit than the Redwings (which I find a little wide) the leather is more pliable as is the sole.

I ordered these through Amazon, the order was place on Tuesday night and they arrived today Thursday (not even 2 days) shipped from the US total price with shipping and import duty was £155 that's £100 cheaper than the equivilant Redwing and I have to say I can't see where that extra 100 would go.

The only thing I don't like and I'm being picky here is the great big 'Made in the US' flag on the side, I might have to get the scalpel out.

@Graeme:

Lucky7, that Katana looks fantastic.

Did you post a build log on the Performance Bikes forum a while back? I'm sure I've seen it before.

Yes that was me, they also featured it in thier obsession series.

Cheers, I bought it as a total basket case, thought I'd do a quick fix up but got a little carried away.

While it's true I own a Sportster my first love is 80s Japanese muscle, here's my No1 ride.

Been enjoying Shipyard IPA just recently.
