quote:Motorcycle riding is a symbol of youthfulness as well as an exciting lifestyle. It is also a very popular means of transport for short and long distance travel in the capital city, divisional and district towns of Bangladesh. The number of registered Motorcycles increases daily in Bangladesh and to serve the growing number of riders, Bata Bangladesh has launched an exclusive sandal for Motorcyclists for the first time.

It is a sandal specifically designed and engineered for bickers. The built-in features are engineered for foot protection and comfort while riding a bike. The MotorSandal was developed by Bata Indonesia and Bata Bangladesh presently is buying components and assembling everything in their Dhamrai factory.

Bata Bangladesh organized a 'Meet the Press' event for the official launch of the ‘MotorSandal’ project in late February. Many Journalists from both press and electronic media attended the event. The company received coverage in more than 30 newspapers and on 7 TV channels.

The most important features of the MotorSandal are – Fiberglass reinforced plate in the sole, Gear shift protection, Thermo-plastic rubber exhaust heat resistance, Toe bumper and Fluorescent night vision in the back strap. Another interesting feature of this sandal is that it can also be used without the back strap as a slipper depending on the wish of the rider. Those with no motorcycle need not be worried, this sandal can be used comfortably in all day to day activities.

At the moment five styles of the ‘MotorSandal’ are available in selected Bata stores across the country at an affordable retail price of Taka 900.00. The ‘MotorSandal’ with its exclusive features has already created tremendous customer sensation and attention. Bata Bangladesh has set a target to sell 100,000 pairs of this ‘MotorSandal’ during 2008.

"specifically designed and engineered for bickers"

I don't reckon any of these "Bickers" have seen the results of a crash with thongs on have they?

"Those with no motorcycle need not be worried"

?? Fuck I have a pair of bike sandals but no bike! What will I do??

I think someone asked is that brazillian..... lol nope even worse, says its from bangladesh....... Total insanity.......who needs toes, or the front of your feet for that matter...... hey it has glo strips and a nice cushiony bit to change gears, awesome. I want some LOL.... and if we are telling stupid squid stories, I just moved back from Umina.... it was nothing to see youngs lads on dirtbikes, with no shirts no gear, but a helmet for themselves.., carrying their little bitty girlfreinds on the back in a mini skirt, sandals and a singlet, with no helmet.....cause they only own one helmet, and they dont mind having their girls face gravel rashed right off.......lol.

The smart gentlmen is alive and well up there.......... ;)

Just reminded me of the joke :
Why did the lebo cross the road? to punch the shit out of the chicken.
Why did 40 lebos cross the road? cause the chicken was winning

Just bought these skanky looking one for the missus...[8D]
For her birthday, they are ICON boots. They are actually designed for riding in, have all the protection and at least she will wear them with them looks...

(she's not really a road racing boot kind of girl as some may be able to vouch for)[:o)]
