They should. I believe in E-Town Donnie told me the Rolling O is the only place to get the black Teeth low. Awesome shoe.

OK, who forgot to lock up the liquor?

Well, I bought some new Oakley Flak Lows in Dallas a few months ago, then bought a new Oakley jacket a couple of weeks ago, and I've got a set of M-Frames on the way with 2 sets of lenses (clear and dark). I guess I'm officially hooked!

You watching for anything in particular in the Barrett-Jackson auctions this year? There seems to be an unusually high number of '71 Mach 1's in the early going this time, I haven't checked the entire list yet but there's several in the first couple hundred lots.

Another testimonial..... I have a pair of Oakleys I wear at work (I'm a firefighter). One day we get a call and roll up on a working house fire. I throw the Oakley's on the dash of the truck and gear up. After the fire's out, the guys come up to me and say I need new sunglasses 'cause they found the parts to mine on the ground. I go to the truck and find two pieces to the frame and the lenses still intact. I ask the guys if they know where the third piece is. I find it in the mud, clean it off, and pop thing back together. The glasses were still like new and ready to wear. I showed the guys and they all decided that they need to invest in Oakley's.

P.S. - These were the same pair that a 300 pound plus guy sat on. Same story ... popped the pieces back together and they're ready to go!

Yeah, they might not be breakable..but they sure don't float! Lost two pairs in the intracoastal in Florida while jet skiing. There might be some sporty looking gators. LOL..

I'll agree... I lost my first pair of black Half Wires to the bottom of Party Cove at the Lake of the Ozarks! lol

I have since replaced those with another pair of black half-wire XL's with iridium and clear lenses (protection for working in the shop), and a pair of dark grey XL's for the sun!

I also love the Teeth shoes... one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever warn!! I have a pair that I wear to work everyday.

The only complaint I have is that I can't buy any apparel anywhere locally here in KC. I went to the Topeka race last year wanting to spend a fortune at the rolling 'O', but it wasn't there! I ended up ordering everything from the website.

rofl... ditto that for OKC. I went to Topeka expecting to do the same as you but the "O" trailer was at a "little" event in Indianapolis. I had to get my Flak's in Dallas.

I couldn't help having a thought pop into my mind just now. I know this would require a lot more research than just a thought before jumping into it, and I'm sure it's been thought of before, but could Oakley safety equipment be a good move? If there's that much brand loyalty out there, would the bulk of sportsman racers not also want to have an "O" on their belts, suits, gloves, helmets, neck braces, wrist restraints, etc?

regretfully, i lose shades to fashionable alligators as well, so i try to constantly
search for well fitting, fashionable shades under $50.00.
Otherwise, my Smoke sandals are going their 3rd year, love them.
Jacket from Mall of America O store, about 2 years ago.
4 pairs of shoes in 4 consecutive years from rolling O in brainerd, this last
year waited till winter, called O store at Mall of America, ordered the
S.I. Assault shoe, best shoe yet, but tongue could be longer.
also used Oakley BMX handle grips when i was a teenager.
still have old 'frogskin' shades, purchased approx. 1986.

Hey Ron, I may be wrong, but I thought Oakley came out with fire boots for the fuel guys last year.

All Oakley's, all the time. At least when we get sun around here! I can't believe Jim Jannard lives on Whidbey. He probably does'nt get much use out of his company's products there. LOL.

BTW, I know why he lives there. Its a semi-private paradise especially in the summer. THE boating spot. Been there a few times for that and its real nice.
