[burnrubbernotursoul]

Mr.Vijay seems to be very busy. He was going to e-mail me the Product Catalogue of 09 models. 15 days have passed and didnt get his mail till now.

same here i ordered reflex knee guard on the 28th of oct still the parcel hasnt been sent out. its almost 2 months and still the parcel hasnt arrived. whenever i call him he always says that it will be sent as the first thing tomorrow or it will be sent immediately. once he told me that he sent it by speed post on the 24th of nov. its almost 24 days and no sign of the parcel.called him up on 12th this month, he said he will send a new set. hope he sends it this time around.or may be i need to look at someother option like the "grahak jago grahak" thing will wait for 10 more days and then will decide. one thing for sure iam not going to order from DSG anything ever.

Yesterday while coming back from office on one of the redlight i spotted a guy on splendor, he was a perfect just another commuter, but what get him noticed was a Red & white combination Helmet resing on his shoulders (almost).
What was so special about this helmet? Tha answer was five alphabets written in a particular order S H O E i. I was like . The helmwt was in bad shape. The visor was scratched, paint was chipped, one side visor holding plate was broken.
I tried calling this guy but he failed to hear me in the traffic noise, i followed him to next redlight, managed to ask him from where he get this.
He told me that he has got it from his brother who owns a second hand imported bike (SBK). He was wondering what so special about a helmet.
I wanted to take photos but my super high end phone dont have a camera.
But i have to what i have to, so on next rd light i asked this guy that do he have a camera mobile? He was like WTF? I told him that i want photos of his helmet and somehow manage to agree him. At last he seems to be happy to learn the fact that he has something so good which can meke people stop him like this.

@Bandhav: That was a nice 'catch'..If the story of the SBK is true, then this 'commuter' must be wearing one of the most expensive lids while commuting! As for the condition of the lid, that I cannot really comment on..

I am working on verfying this SBK story, i have already added this guy on my orkut friend list.

Surely the condition of helmet was nothing to write home about, and the only reason for such condition was the fact that this mere mortal is not aware what he got.

I checked the helmet closely and it was clerely sending the message that "I might be old and battered but i am a shoei nothing less."

That is pure dedication and nothing else, I say! Do let us know when you do get to the root of the 'story'!

Actually thats what even I was thinking... even the SHOEI font is not correct... but anyways let see what it turns out to be!


Edit: Looks like the old senna series... the most copied series ever....!

You guys have created a doubt in my mind.

Need help

I am having a "Daijya" helmet with a plain visor.. I want to switch to a Black or Blue tinted visor.. Does anyone has any idea where I can find it in Bangalore???

[Puneet1]

are tinted visors bad for night riding ?? does it help reduce oncoming traffic headlight glare ?

There are different types of tints that are available..
One is a White + Light Brown option which is pretty good for days and nights...
Then theres a White + Light blue option which is pretty good for days and okayish for nights...

The mercury ones (usually blue or Silver, golden) are a pain in dark nights...

[DriftKingNT]

I am using two visors on my Daijya. One Blue Tinted for day use and one Plain one for night.
