Curse - If ATGATT is the way to go, then why would someone use sandals
Rkakkar - Yes I've Medium

They are just trying to make a market from the majority of the people in India who do not use any type of protection while riding, and that includes shoes. So just an another marketing gimmick maybe.

Is this for real?

If it is then all I can say is that I'm amazed! Somebody should take them to court for misleading the public so blatantly.

By just labelling a regular pair of floaters as "suitable for motorbikes" they're fooling gullible people out of their money.

You got me wrong probably; I knew you were only sharing the new; I got confused as why one would even think of manufacturing slippers to ride a motorcycle; and does that even make a worthy manufacturing?

Leh Ride Gear

Hello Everyone

I've been planning to ride to Leh later this year and my biggest hiccup and confusion is about riding gear and equipment.

I'd really appreciate if some of the experienced guys gives me some pointers in what kind of gear should i look at acquiring.

I would also be very grateful if someone can suggest something for bike to bike communication (walkie-talkie, bluetooth etc) since we are all very very new to touring and would like to be in sync.

Thanks in advance

Thats about as useful as a regular chappal. But atleast the toe area wont be ruined and the sole could last much longer. My current leather chappal is totally ugly-fied at the toe region.

"For true motorcycle riders" indeed! They know that in order to truly survive Indian roads, you shouldnt go beyond 10kmph.

AFAIK these are not originals. But good enough to sustain an impact.

I'm in Europe right now and I'm about to get some armoured gear.

Do you have any recommendation which jacket would be suitable for Punjabi weather?

And do you know which tankbag fits a Pulsar 220?

TIA

If you are in US, check out 'ironpony' for some of the Alpinestar's gear at almost 50% off. I have not ordered from this site before, but couldn't resist the price, so ordered a pair of SP-2 gloves.

'Alpinestar's AYC' is Yamaha gear but doesnt have any yamaha logos. The colors are a little different too and being 'closeout', you might not find all sizes.

Mesh riding gear: This is easy - try vacuum cleaning the dirt out of the mesh crevices and seams using a bristle attachment. Then use a damp cloth to clean the mesh. Most of the mesh used is synthetic, so it will not absorb water if you run the surface with a damp cloth. And if you have done some serious mud plogging and the cleaning is beyond the abilities of your vacuum cleaner, and hand wash the garment in lukewarm water with a soft detergent. Avoid the machine washing your mesh garments, and NEVER dry clean. Dry cleaning solvents will strip your garment of special finishes (water proofing for example) if your jacket is treated with one. Let the garment hang out in shade and do not wring it - let it drip.
