Thunderbird Club

Honestly?. Since my strap has seriously tough leather with tightly squeezed openings for the pin I shouldnt have to worry about it being locked but I use a simple insurance measure that can be found on one of my favorite beer brands bottles. See that red seal right beneath the cap?. Magic!. Locks over the pin tight and you enjoy a great beer!.

Bonus!
 
Same here. I put Dunlops on the '91, and they are just a bit of a pain. The rest don't have locks. Famous last words, I guess, but I don't see a need.
*OOPH* I can't enjoy the ride, if I'm not locked in. I'm just too worried about the thing droppin'. I had it happen once playin' a friend's Les Paul. I saved it before it hit the floor... but I'll never forget that feeling! I've used 'em ever since:nailbiting:
 
I got a bunch of em I can sell for high mark up value to the non drinking players.
The Original Prog's Advanced Engineering Ring Locks:thumbsup: Aww Damn I can see it now!. The money I make of these is gonna be big time bitchin'. Im gonna be wasted on my yacht in the middle of the ocean with a fishing rod in one hand and a shotgun in the other with a galley full of beer and left handed cig's. My wife sipping wine in her finest swimsuit edition bikini on a recliner, my son playing Call Of Duty online in his private room and my weiner dog barking on the edge of the front bow. That is the shytt!.

You don't wear 'em onto airplanes, because explaining steel toes to TSA is a lost cause. But, sometimes you have to have steel toes. So I do. I don't wear 'em in the gym or playing shows. I have a little class. Not much, but you gotta take what you can get.

I’m a recent convert to RM Williams boots, hoping that these may be the last shoes I ever buy for work.

Each Made of one piece of leather with a seam up the back. Fine Australian product. Look great with office attire and can get through the day without thinking about my feet, don’t notice they are on mostly.

( If you look them up I will hasten to add that I did not pay RRP but bought factory seconds - though I have no idea what the fault is. )
