    Well, it's time for me to get back on the track.
    For anyone who doesn't know, I had a bad gettoff April 2008 during race 3.
    I am going back to the track tomorrow with great excitement on ScottieDucati's 848 for the last BostonMoto track day.
    I've replaced my track Arai as of this morning. I have a Alpinestars bionic race shield now and a bionic wrist.
    The one thing I neglected to do is send out my Sidi Vertigo Corsa boots out for repair. One had the front buckle ripped off.

    So should I:
    1. Duct tape the front of the Sidi Vertigo Corsa boot where the front buckle used to be.
    2. Wear a new, but lesser boot the AlpineStars S-MX5 that I have for the street.

    Does the boot stay on tight without a buckle?

    If I knew I wouldn't crash for sure, I could wear flip flops.
    As I understand it Scottie's 848 has already been wrecked twice. And what do they say about the third time?
