Thanks Varun!

You should do that stretch sometimes - great roads, and it is awesome fun!

I chose leathers because it has the highest abrasion resistance - I read somewhere that on a 80kmph spill on the road, Denim has 4 feet of wear, Kevlar/other synthetics has 18 feet and 1.2 mm cowhide can go up to 86 feet of drag on the road before it wears out!

So by buying leathers, I went for protection and safety over everything else. I do my touring mostly between November to February, so leathers suit me well. And I bought a jacket/pant with mesh panels sewn into leathers, so it keeps me ventilated as long as I am moving at around 40-50 kmph.

And I love Dainese, though their prices makes Astars rates look like a closeout deal!

Hope you get the paint job done soon - we'll go on a ride together then! Two 250cc bikes burning rubber on the open roads !

Since you mention that, how much did you pay for that leather suit? Just curious

A little over $1,000. I bought the jacket and pant separately after a gap of two months since I could not afford that sum in one go...
