how much you have to pay extra in taxes and courier..???

Courier is 25 USD. Not sure about the taxes as I am yet to receive the credit card bill, but the conversion rate at which the amount was calculated was actually less than the rate for the day that I bought the helmet.

Hey Tulinisarg,

I ordered the K3 Evil Black , not the Celebr8 Rossi helmet . ridersdiscount takes 3 weeks to deliver ! tried a friend's K3 n i found it slightly heavy but worth it i guess Enjoy !

Balaji

The same helmet is available at Orion here in Bangalore. Tried it, found it to be very comfortable, but the prices are way to high.

I've been using this for over a year and love these gloves. You wont be disappointed.

Only grouse is that the velcro on the wrist strap becomes weak and will refuse to stick after a few months. I got an aftermarket () velcro strip stitched on to the straps from a nearby bag repair shop.

@n_aditya Thanks for the heads up! How do they fare in the rains? As in can I use them?

When i rode with my buddies the first time to Ooty we were totally unprepared as the trip was unplanned. We had rode off to get some breakfast and ended up in ooty.

We rode through almost 100 kms of torrential rains and my gloves were soaking wet. Everytime i clenched my fist water would seep from the glove.

When i reached the hotel, i just stuffed some tissues into the gloves and the next day it was dry. It was cold like from a freezer but was not wet at all.

The air vents on the fingers do a good job of forcing air into the glove too. I love this pair of gloves and wish they had a revive full gauntlet too.

Need riding Gear

Hello fellow xbhpians,

I stay in Vadodara, Gujarat. I wanted to know whether in any city here are riding gears of good quality available. I went to buy helmet and the best I could get was Studds Ninja. Didn't find any proper shop for riding gears here, like gloves, jacket etc. Though they can be ordered online from various sites, but still I would like to take a look at the products before buying.

If anybody knows any shops in or around Vadodara please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

I had ordered knee guards from RD. Didn't receive the package even after a month. Got in touch with them and came to know that the package was untraceable

They offered reshipment or refund, chose reshipment and got the package in 10 days

Normally it should take around 15-20 working days.

I got the Thor Quadrant... mainly for wearing under the jeans...

The cost was $25 and shipping also was $25... came to know later that I could have got some more stuff, the shipping would have been the same.

Apart from what I paid while buying, I didn't have to pay anything extra...
maybe because the item was small

[princesirohi]

does anybody know where can i get dianese knee guards.??

[RanjithMN]

AFAIK,there aren't any Indian online/offline stores selling them in India.You can try RidersDiscount etc which are foreign Online stores.Mind you,you might have to pay Duties etc.
