[MelodicMetalGod]

Didn't (and wouldn't) buy these, just found them and thought I'd share a laugh:

Foot feelin' too heavy to operate the shifter? Been ridin' the rear break because of the oppressive weight of your footwear? Then you NEED this TECHNICALLY INNOVATIVE UPGRADE in your collection TODAY!

Product Description

Lighter overall foot weight equates to easier operation of the shift and rear brake levers for increased all-day rider comfort. Also reduces drag of offbike footwear.

Hmmm.... Not sure how "easily removable" one would want their $900 aglets to be Additional weight savings not just from material but also having aglets 1.0 or 1.5 millimeters in length?

They should sweeten the deal - Free shipping if you purchase blinker fluid with it!

Read the product reviews;

"Saving a fortune in frayed laces and shoes stay tied longer too! Best $900.00 I've ever spent!"

"These titanium aglets have saved my life more than once. The overall reduction in weight, while not noticeable initially, are evident after hours of riding, when you're dragging your feet around, unable to remove your boots for whatever reason, and grateful for the weight savings.

These $900 aglets enhance the look & performance of my $50 boots in ways I cannot describe. Once, I had to toss my laces to a drowning drunk. A lesser plastic aglet would not have created the right weight/speed characteristics to generate the 'bolo' effect and he would not have been able to grip the end of the laces with such aplomb. He drowned anyway, but the point I'm trying to make is that they're there when you need them."

I feel like I just got punked....

That place is ripping you guys off. I can get them for around half the cost over here. Group buy?

[JEEPRUSTY]

odd a mainstream vendor wuould link to something so strange.
The quiz looks like a lead up to a scam.

Personally I prefer flip-flops

You've got to be kidding me!
Sure it wasn't supposed to be $8.99?

Every Aerostitch catalog I've ever had always has something stupid like that. Obviously its a joke.
Overall I dig Aero's stuff, but since I don't ride a BMW, well, I guess I'm just not their target buyer.
Sometimes their other descriptions are just irritating to me - buncha goofballs.
But I would love a Roadcrafter suit if I had a grand to drop.

Quick!, Someone tell Shelvin...
