With any luck I won't be purchasing one, I hope one just shows up. GWB's will NEVER be part of my equipment, heck I don't even wear white sneakers!

Whatever happened to manning up and lifting your bike onto a stand?

Those Ogio stands are way more a pain in the ass than just lifting. If the bike doesn't make it up on the first try, you get stuck.. If you are already tired after a moto, you're done.

Not for me. I usually have limited room to put the bike on the stand in my garage and with that I'd need at least the length of the bike to get it up on there. I'd end up ramming my wall or bench or some small child.

Well for those manly men there is the option of lifting the bike up. I just think it's a pretty neat idea, I know a few times I've been wiped after several long loops in the heat and chose to lean my bike against the trailer rather than lift it on the stand and risk dumping it over along with myself. Those that know me should have a pretty good idea that hoisting a XR250 isn't really a big deal for me in most instances but some times ya' just gota' go for the easy way.

... I guess if you never actually WEAR your GWBs , then you are technically correct. :whoa:


Sidebar - After a zillion years with Alpinetars, OT is now wearing Gaerne SG10 GWBs and LOVES them. ;)

I'll stick with MBB over GWB, I guess I'm just not cool or fast enough for GWB or maybe I'm just not "sth-tylish" enough.

I confess, I wear MBB....and soon I too will have a pair of sg-10's.....and they will be of the white variety.

I think that stand is pretty darn cool, but I am a lazy type. Can't go wrong with something being a tad easier. I'll roll my bike on it while wearing my new GWB!

You can come up and ride on my track, but you have to leave that stand and the GWB's at home.. ;)

Maybe I could wear the GWB...and try to paint them black like some of the guys on here (that wanna paint their rims black and try to paint their plastics). Then I would have brought my GWB behind enemy lines. man oh MAN what a plan. And I'm more lazy then the lazy stand. Most of the time I lean my bike aginst a tree...or my suv. I don't need no stinking stand.

When we first started carrying the OGIO stand (and their new ramp) I thought cool idea to fix a non issue. You know, thats nice, but it's gay. Now that I have sold 25~30 of them and used them around the shop I've kinda changed my tune. They work as advertised. :cool:

btw, whenever the GWB vs MBB thing come up I always think of this:

I don't get it. One has white boots and one has black boots. My Gaerne boots are brown leather. :think:

The only reason I won't wear white boots is because they get dirty too fast ... other than that ... I think they're OK... sorta. My daughter wears white A-stars. :nod:

Got to try my new manly black Sidi Crossfire's today - awesome, but overpriced boot.

I had a pair of white, errrr, tan Fox boots for years. I liked them whem they were new, but they looked terrible after a few seasons. My black A-stars are easier for sure.
