Good old Hi Points

tokarev · 12-01-2014, 11:14 PM

I buy a pair of HiPoint motorcross boots back maybe 1983 for around $120.00. I use them on and off with 3 different bikes over the years. Naturally my feet have changed since I was 21 so I bought a new pair recently. I put the HiPoints on ebay with a starting price of .99 cents and sold them for $150.00

Awesome! You got paid $30 to wear those boots.

How have you been? Haven't seen you around in awhile. Still ride your CJ?

Still have the CJ - its been apart for a while now but I did work on it this past weekend. Havent been riding the Viva's 250's lately - riding partner (son) has been at college but he's finishing dec/jan so we will be riding again soon. This past sunday a miracle did happen - both Viva's started after sitting for over a year. Kick started both since the batteries died long ago. Look forward to getting back in the woods. Still have to rejet my carb due to air cleaner mods

Thank Heavens for miracles like that! I love when my little China bikes fire up after a long nap. Have you purchased new carbs for them, or are you using the original Keihin style?

Please update your CJ thread if you have time.

Someone paid for the look of those boots.
