    Purchase a GPS navigator. Bangalore roads are tough anyways even for those who remember roads well.
    So far as I am concerned, I am the most pathetic person that anyone can come across so far as remembering roads of any city is concerned.
    I am waiting for GPS navigators to be launched in India at reasonable prices. Currently they are too expensive (Maymyindia and SatGuide).

    I called the Pune PBK. They told that they are not delivering bikes during Dec end to avoid 1 year old registration just for 1 week. They said they will start delivering the bikes in 2nd week of Jan

    I hope you talked to the pro-biking guys and not khivraj ppl.... the guy from Khivraj told me my bike will be ready by 1 tomorrow (had called me to ask for teflon coating) while the regn papers were sent only today so not sure what he meant...

    Need your advice on Protective Gear... I checked some at the Orion outlet in Koramangala, Bangalore.

    They have Alpinestar Leather Jackets worth 10k and Planet DSG mesh Jackets around 6.5k..

    Although the Leather jackets looked gr8... but I am worried if they would suit Bangalore weather, especially afternoons.

    Another thing... is it better to buy the Alpinstar here or ask my friend to bring it from the US.
    Consider buying Knee protectors as well. They are very useful. You can consider buying Textile jackets and not the leather ones (Alpinestar or DSG) so that they wont fry you in the heat and will be water resistant.

    Whatever you go for, make sure it has CE approved protectors on shoulders, elbow&back. Material&fit are personal choice. DSG/Cramster both have them.

    Well.. the leather jackets or the DSG ones both will fry you during the day.
    However the DSG ones also have protection ,so they save you in a crash.
    Its always better to have gear that would save you in a crash.

    IF you are getting stuff from the US then i'd suggest you get good ones that have protection.


    @bluevolt: sure thing mate.

    Just say yes - doesn't matter much.

    @Avin: I will drop you a pm on my plans for the G2G by tomorrow! There might be some 31st plans from my company, and I will come to know today.

    Welcome to the world of Khivraj motors
    Yup...I got a call today too...he was gonna send the papers now...BTW my house is in J.P.Nagar and these guys have been asking me multiple times if they can register the bike in the koramangla RTO (ka-01 number)...I am not sure what difference it would make except make it easier for the bajaj guys may be..any clues?
