    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

    The views expressed in this forum are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of "The GSResources" or the editors.

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Alpinestars S-MX 5 Boots

I have a hard foot to fit as it is pretty wide but short (kinda like Herman Munster). I usually wear a 10.5 Wide but if the shoe is narrow may have to go up to a 11 to get the required width. I did have someone try top put me into a 9.5 EEEE that really did look like a HM shoe.

Anyway, I was a little concerned about buying boots off the internet without first trying them. I finally ran out of time as the Mt Shasta trip was approaching and just went for it. I got the 45 which were a little tight at first (more on the left than the right). After wearing them for a few hours the leather lossened up and they fit very comfortably now. I had a cheap set of $55 ebay boots before ; so although they were just at $200 delivered (I found the best deal on ebay), they have a very nice quality and fit and I'm very glad to have purchased them. :p

I got the regular black ones instead of the vented ones. They also come in waterproof. I never got hot in the base version and of course it never rains in Southern California.
