Glad to see you are OK Jonak. And a perfect example as to why you should wear riding gears!

@Jonak: You should also consider investing in a riding jacket (maze to beat the heat).

Good that you are alright Jonak.

And good that u are creating awareness about safety gear among bikers here.

**niks_devil666** · 06-07-2009, 10:38 PM

Jonak : Good to see u are ok , I guess now a good riding jacket should be on the cards for you.

**jadhav92** · 06-07-2009, 10:49 PM

hey jonak,

looks like you'd have had a serious injury without these riding gears. All thanks to them.

and also as others mentioned opt for a riding jacket sometime soon.

These things actually help others in learning the importance of riding gears.

Good luck for your future.....

Thanks for quick approval sir.
Yes, I am planning to buy one for a long time now. But in Kolkata neither cramster nor DSG is available. I guess I have to order it online only.

Oh baby! Mr.Jonak that looks really nasty yaar. Bike looks hurt though, but goodness you are perfectly fine.
Even after my last crash, I had insisted every riding soul around me to go n get proper gears before riding next...
Anyways Evrythings well that ends well!

A SHORT LIST OF MY RIDING GEARS:
DAINESE armour jacket
PRO-BIKER gloves
SPYDER gloves

@Jonak :

BTW, I went to Cramster store this Saturday and tried the Breezer 2.0 jacket on. Its very light and fits pretty well. In fact I think the elbow guard has been elongated till 2-3 inches before the wrists. Its got external padding at elbow and shoulders, so one can even wear it without the guards !!

Only thing is, it doesn't have elastics at the waist, so it doesn't cling to the waist to give a v-shape but fall vertical. They said, that was to enhance breathability !!

Also I talked to the owner of the place Keerthi, and he agreed to sort of set up a stall in Kolkatta or something, so that Kol customers can try on the jackets before buying.

So if you guys can let me kno, if some expo and exhibition or bike event or something happening in Kolkatta, then I'll pass the info to him and perhaps he can put up a stall. It'll also help if he can get a rough estimate of what general sizes might be needed. No guarentee of purchase tho !

ad lastly, hope u r okay. Get well soon mate !!

**ken cool** · 06-09-2009, 12:16 AM

Yes, riding gear is essential, be it any weather. I shudder to think what could have happened to you when I see the scratches on your protection!

I bought Cramster stuff over the phone. They are pretty good. Buy yourself a Mesh jacket with CE certified armour. I had sent one such jacket to Calcutta to Simba. Don't know if you know him.

**satyenpoojary** · 06-09-2009, 12:23 AM

Absolutely agreed to what Ken Da said, Just today I had a nasty crash and I am perhaps alive because of the gear I wear....

I would strongly advice you to get a good Jacket soon, I am sure Cramster does ship its product... althought the fitting is not something to boast about for both cramster and DSG, but they are better than not havin anythin on!

I have a Shift Mesh jacket, and a Fieldsheer Textile jacket,

I think I will go for a Maze now! or may be if any of my friends coming from the US of A, then give them a small parcel to carry to India

Thanks a lot Sukant. I will let you know if any event happens in Kolkata.

@Jonak: Good to see you are not really hurt. And ofcourse nice to see you up and running (and posting!).

Take care, ride safe and please don't ride behind a superbike, especially when riding through areas dotted with cows, goats, etc.
