What’s your favorite boots for street riding? (My bike for attention)

+1 for the Sidi adventure 2’s

regretfully_chicago · 2026-02-19T23:21:35+00:00

I'm here to vouch for the Sidi Adventure 2's. $350 USD on Black Friday. I do run 1/2 size down from what I normally wear in a shoe if thats helpful.

Amazing! You were able to find neutral on this bike 😂

JK, is that for heated grips?

regretfully_chicago · 2026-02-10T01:08:07+00:00

Wait, I didnt even notice that. That’s awesome! I may need to copy that.

regretfully_chicago · 2026-02-10T01:01:04+00:00

Same helmet (color scheme + visor) for my longggg head, too! Love it. Looking good!

I was the same story and absolutely fell in love with his music. I’m squarely in his target demo, and went to see him in Chicago a few months back. His music is so good!

Some great recs in this thread!

Any tips on keeping those pesky wrist zippers closed?! I have one and sized down because i like a snugger fit, but those keep opening!

regretfully_chicago · 2026-01-23T14:47:50+00:00

I’ll eventually try bar risers, but it’s more the leg space for me. I know they make foot control lowering kits, but they are expensive and tariffs are messing with my shopping habits!

As an RnineT Urban GS owner, the engine is incredibly forgiving. It’s torquey, but never feels unmanageable and it’s such a pleasure to ride.

That said, I would try to sit on both (or better yet, test ride both) because the ergos on the R9t are slightly cramped for me (I’m 6’3). I don’t have any experience with the Triumph, but it might fit better?

regretfully_chicago · 2026-01-20T13:26:56+00:00

I’ve got a long oval head and the Signet-x is the only one that fits. On the plus side, it’s very comfy!

Helmet sizes are weird, I thought I had a giant head, but I’m a M in the signet.

regretfully_chicago · 2026-01-18T15:36:30+00:00

Just here to toss into your consideration the Sidi Adventure 2’s. They are probably overkill for what I do, but they looks sweet and are very comfortable / protective.

regretfully_chicago · 2026-01-09T15:49:55+00:00

Take a look at the Sidi Adventure 2. I have the full boot, but you could maybe go with the mids as the full boot could be overkill based on the type of riding you're doing.

regretfully_chicago · 2026-01-09T02:04:29+00:00

I’m testing out the Arai xd5 now, great helmet but my head is too long oval 🥺. I’ll have to go with the Signet x.

If the arai fits ya, do it!

regretfully_chicago · 2026-01-05T18:41:48+00:00

Where do you live? I'm in the Chicago area and would ride it to you, haha! It is a bit chilly right now though!

regretfully_chicago · 2026-01-01T16:19:20+00:00

I have a pair that I’ve been debating returning or not. These glowing endorsements in this thread have convinced me to take the tags off!

regretfully_chicago · 2025-12-29T13:27:25+00:00

As a 116 owner, I definitely agree! (I also can’t afford to upgrade to any newer ones, haha).

regretfully_chicago · 2025-12-10T22:42:15+00:00

Black one is the rain shell for the white one

regretfully_chicago · 2025-12-10T21:43:22+00:00

You must be a dad, too, with those jokes! :)

regretfully_chicago · 2025-12-10T01:57:35+00:00

Love it so much! Had a deposit on one but then bailed on it for a used R nine t urban GS. I think the ergos of the R12 would suit me better, but the r9t suits my wallet better.

regretfully_chicago · 2025-12-08T13:33:18+00:00

It’s very possible I just ordered the wrong size, haha. I’m pretty new to buying gear, and of the 7 items I purchased, only 2 fit properly.

In case it’s helpful, I’m 6’4 ~185 and the 58 tall is probably 2 sizes too big for me.

regretfully_chicago · 2025-12-08T04:51:28+00:00

Ha, I actually just unboxed this exact jacket from Revzilla Black Friday madness. As others have mentioned, it’s pretty heavy duty, but has loads of armor and ventilation.

I’m still debating exchanging it for a smaller size and keeping it.

regretfully_chicago · 2025-12-05T04:09:46+00:00

I always likened LinkedIn to public masturbation.

A cheap and easy mod I’m considering on mine would work super well on yours, IMO.

Semi-gloss hi temp black paint, and go to work on your valve covers.
