How much?

I stopped wearing Derri Boots after sliding off my bike at low speed rubbing my foot along on ground the heat generated caused a nasty burn on my heel

SteveD CB500K0:
We all wore Derri boots when I was at Uni.

They were waterproof!

One of my mates painted his so they looked like racing boots.

Yes everyone wore them years ago both warm and waterproof

SumpMagnet:
Derriboots...what the rich guys wore instead of wellies :)

My dad swore by them for wet weather wear....but by the time I started riding...they were old fashioned. The trend was for Frank Thomas buckle-boots....that leaked like a sieve in rain...so you stuffed your feet in a carrier bag to keep your socks dry.

Mind you...that was ruined when they started putting holes in them to stop people suffocating themselves.

What's not to like...  they are the ultimate evolution of Honda's SOHC 750.. and you can easily change the original "sensible" looks with a new seat and exhaust system.

Look at this beauty!
