I wasn't joking about riding like that in my 20s, but I sold all my bikes in 2005.
True Texan or imposter?

I missed Bonnie and Clyde and Earth.
I missed how many died in Galveston and Friendship (I put "Don't Mess With Texas" oops).
Was still there the last time I passed by a month or so ago.
FEMA bussed the spillover, including many criminals from the flooded jails, from the SuperDome in NOLA, to the Astrodome in Houston. My entire family spent the better part of three weeks collecting food, clothing and bedding from our area and delivering it to the Astrodome.
AAMOF, my front yard and front porch was a designated drop-off point for the area we live in. Probably filled my truck 50 times and made the five mile trip to the Astrodome with donated stuff from our neighbors in the general area.
Sad thing is that it quickly turned into a zoo, one of my sisters was assaulted early on, and barely escaped rape while volunteering inside to distribute clothes on the floor of the Astrodome; my wife was caught in shootout between gang members, just three blocks from the dome when driving a volunteer there back to work ... car next to her took 15 bullets.
I said screw that ... no mas.
Many of the zoo critters are still here in Houston, adding to the increasing crime.
You just don't see the NOLA gang tagging like there was.
And after experiencing it once, I don't think there have been any more near-riot conditions in Houston ISD when the kids realized they didn't get a holiday for Mardi Gras.
My old cowboy boots fit me like a glove. I had them resoled a couple times. Got stepped on by a bull and it tore a hole in the side, so I had a patch sewed on. They had the perfect split at the top to tuck my jeans into. I worked cattle almost every day back then, and they were the most comfortable boots I ever owned, to this day. To say I loved those boots, doesn't quite get there.
So you can imagine my surprise and dismay when I came home from work one day (from my new non-cowboy job) to find that my wife and MIL had cleaned and organized our house. And they thought there was no way a human would actually wear those ugly boots.
So they donated them and some other of MY stuff to Goodwill. I was mad for 2 months over that. Went to Goodwill for several weeks, not there. Its been 35 years, and I am still not over it.
I wear boots every day.... so I think I know them well. I use them for work, while at home, and while feeding the animals.
Living in El Paso I have my own pair of Lucchese and Tony Llama for work, and I also have a custom pair of square toes from Alex boots (made in Juarez) in Eel Skin. The boot maker stated there are no others like it that have ever been made.
The boots in the OP are part of the Justin Stampede line... Made in Dallas Tx. The lip over the heel is the giveaway. Is the guy an imposter?.. maybe, but his boots are from Tx.

We like to tinker with our threads as much as we tinker with our guns.
