    Thanks for posting up your summer wanderings.  It's always good to see/hear how you are doing there.

    As for winter . . . . well, you might want to stock up early on whiskey and poker chips as there's another super el nino stewing over the pacific, promising another winter of epic proportions.  Don't shoot the messenger please.

    Maybe it's time to sell one of those bikes off for a snowmobile?

    Cheers!

    @Dan Diego had the exact same problem.
    I told him go to any good boot cobbler, they have the tools and sauce that you put on the leather to stretch it in specific areas.

    ANY place that can resole boots should be able to do it for you.
    Otherwise you get yourself a boot tree and build up that specific area, spray the zone on the inside with the stuff (need to google it) and stretch it out yourself but it might not be a permanent because i think heat is used to affix the leather once it has been stretched

    This is the one I know of in my area

    I have a pair of Gaerne 12's that are superb in every way.  But I do find that after 2 or 3 hours of aggressive off roading my right foot gets a pressure point that hurts.  I'm wondering if anyone here knows of a person or a shop that can stretch the boot in one particular spot.

    A ski boot fitter is obvious as I've had every pair of ski boots ever owned stretched . . . in that same spot.  But my Gaerne's are heavy leather, not plastic shells.

    Anyone here ever done something like this?

    Ride the old Lewiston Grade. It is a spectacular little track down the hill.

    check out Deary and Boville ID. Great roads. From Boville ride dirt to Elk River. Gorgeous. Rides all over the Palouse are scenic and lonely. Watch for deer. I mean it!

    from Lewiston ride through Asotin Wa toward and over Rattlesnake grade. You’ll never forget it. On to Enterprise and Joseph Oregon. 
    or from Lewiston to Grangeville then to Elk City and back when the road literally ends. 
    or head for Wallace ID. An amazing little piece of history. Then ride the old rail beds that have now been turned into bicycle, you TV and motorcycle trails through many old train tunnels, the trail name escapes me at the moment, as I am two whiskeys in. And I grew up in that area, just riding the wheels off our old motorcycles. So I don’t always remember the names anyway. The trail through the train, tunnels, and over the railroad trestle’s is epic and memorable. Unfortunately, we do not have the whole summer to spend up their writing. There is so much to do and so much to see in North Idaho, where it is impossible to pick to  unfortunately you do not have the whole summer to spend up there riding. There is so much to do and so much to see in North Idaho but it is impossible to pick out just a few good gems. I am quite biased towards the glory, and splendor of Idaho. I’m sure that is because my veins flow rich with huckleberry syrup and blackbear poop. It will be up to you to decide how much time you dare take away from the relatives up there to bask in this moto Nirvana.

    if your Moto time is extremely limited, just head south and east, and you literally can’t go wrong.
