Hi Eshan, You can contact Sunil on ...

Hi Adi, I respectfully suggest that you remove the contact number, this being a public forum. Infact, Sunny was just complaining the other day that the Auto Car magazine had to publish his number and now he is bombarded with an endless barrage of calls, left, right and center. So, send him a PM instead?

I agree to this 101%; last time when I'd asked him if I can post my experiences, he'd no objection. But when I asked if I could mention his name, he politely refused. I'd to respect his words on account of privacy.

RJays Sprint boot, anyone? Been looking for a cheap adequate, waterproof boot. Anyone can shed some light on RJays boots, please? Especially Sprint would be helpful. How's the quality, the waterproofing properties and stuff.

Cheers!

ROFLMAO. Neil should see this post.

Check with Sunil Silva (sunny silva on fb) for spartan gear. Performance racing store stocks some nice knee guards that dont cost an arm and a leg.

Ty n_aditya, I have seen their gear (Spartans). Had made up my mind on getting a helmet and a pair of gloves and checking out their jackets.


@RG : As for the bags I had narrowed it down to colt. I thought it was just their gloves and jackets. Yes there is always something very clear in what i require and I do my research (help). I just wondered if you know of anything that is similar to the colt in design but of better quality?

Like I said before, Spartan was already in the list, the helmets and the gloves are something i had made up my mind to pick up same goes for the jacket just wanted to check if they have my size.

Guess its going to take a little longer than I expected but anyway thanks for the warning about burnt bags!

Rynox may be, though I haven't bought them; offlate I'm seriously giving a thought if I really need a saddle bag & why not fit everything to a tail bag & I'm researching on them, one of the primary criteria is to hold 15" laptop.

thanks for the warning about burnt bags!

Pleasure; I'm not completely knocking off crapster, but, offlate I feel their product needs to be changed on something. For instance, COLT was good with RJ trip, issue being, it had to be put midway of the split seats, but on longer journeys, it certainly sores your butt, literally sores. During my recent trip to TVM, I'd put in the rear seat & it needed to be taken care often, otherwise...needless to say the wrath!!!

At times even the most seemingly unimportant component could completely change the course.

In these competitive times, it would be a good idea for any company to improve themselves and their products and experience the pride. It goes without saying one needs to communicate better with their customers or prospects and be genuine about it.

I guess a gud old duffel and nylon rope will do. The rest (fragile)can go in one of my backpacks.

Rynox may be, ..!

I ordered the Rynox optimus-M tank/tail bag last week and am getting it tomorrow. Not sure how it is!!

I hope it might give us an idea on the quality of the brand .

Oh!!! Cool cool, so you were the one then I spoke to them y'day morning & he was saying someone from Chennai ordered M-Tank bag, when asked if he's a member of xBhp, they didn't know.

Please...you opinion matters a lot to me, kindly post your unbiased review without fail; I'm looking forward to it. Tks.

Guys i was checking for Saddle bag and stumbled upon Saddle bag from Rynox.
The name of the saddle bag is the Nomad and it has a capacity of whopping 38 litres per side so total capacity of the bags will be 76 litres. And the construction material used is also better than cramster's.

RYNOX GEARS


The capacity of the Saddle bag from Cramster Colt is only 37 litres

Cramster - Travel Gear For The Restless : Motorcycle Luggage, Saddlebags, Magnetic Tankbags, Riding Gear - Jacket, Gloves, Backpacks...

Am I reading something wrong or is it really that huge?

Has anybody used these in any long rides? A review please .....

Guys, anyone around here know anyone who sells the GoPro or any HD helmet cam in India? I'm having hard time sourcing the dealers' name and et al. If anyone is planning to sell their helmet cam or suggest a good place for the same, that'd helpful.

Cheers!

GoPro guys have released a new version of the HERO cam. It is called HERO HD2. The specs are much better than old HERO- 11 MP cam, 2x better optics, .5s timelapse shots etc. I just had a friend buy me one from US. Cost $380 for the camera set and batterybackpack.

PRS has the older version for 19k - but it costs only ~$200 in US. Also try EBay.
