Megha Enterprises in Lalbagh Road. Or send a mail to the company helpdesk - [email protected] for assistance.

good one. but i can't afford good brands pocket money is the only source of money.

It's simple formula mate. Go for the gears you can afford rather being "naked" in the street riding the machine. You never know what might happen when. You have all the info you need in this thread. Make a wise decision.

50 KMPH is well enough to fracture your finger bones and even cause a fatal head injury. Speed is speed no matter what. Fracture, injury and fatality don't know which speed is good for them, all they know is to break you into pieces if you take a fall.

Get out there, save some money, go gear hunting, there are lot of good desi brands that give good protection. All the best!

Anyone bought from this website? How trustworthy is this? I mean what's the guarantee that these are not FAKE? Might be a cheaper deal but CRAMSTER's are still a lot better!

Comment?!

^^ + 1 - Almost definitely a fake. The originals cost over USD$ 50/-.

What about the boots option I'm looking for? (Link Provided)! Wise decision?

I have been using the Orazo Picus for some time. This looks like the Picus without the upper part. If that is the case, It is a good bet.

But I would still suggest you go for the Picus - it can be used at office as well and on those water hazards you encounter in Leh

Cool! But how i decide on for the shoe size? Different brands' different shoe sizes generally fit and that too depending on the type of shoe! Like my foot fits in a UK 10 Adidas, UK 9 Puma, UK 9 Converse etc. So u can't simple buy it, right? So any suggestions?

Then go for size 9 that is your best bet. Go to Orazo's own website, and you have the sizing avlbl there. Their sizes are in UK, you should be size 9 UK provided the information you've given above is correct.

I think you meant water resistant (Not Water Proof Ones)!! Its better to know facts before than getting dissapointed later. I am planning to go for Picus as well.
Also, i am looking for good knee protectors, something between Cramster and A*. Have heard that cramster knee guards arent any good and some have mentioned the rivet giving up in the very first ride without any fall or so.
The alpinestar bionic ones are bit costly. Any suggestion around 3k? There are few people selling the Thor sector knee protectors around 2-2.5k but cant judge it just from looks. Anyone tried Scoyco ones? Any suggestions?

SIDI Adventure Gore-Tex Boots

Just got my hands on these - arrived today from Germany for field-testing by moi !






Simply spectacular build quality - solid tank-like construction and touted by many as one of the best waterproof adventure touring boots in the world! Can't wait to put them to the test on my ride to Leh !

They cost the proverbial bomb but have been assured by veterans that they will last for years to come - hope that it lives up to all the hype! Fingers-crossed!

Suggest Chest & back protectors

Hi guys,
I just bought A Cramster Breezer Jacket & gloves. Now the problem is my parents are insisting me to wear a reliable chest protector ,back protector & knee guards when i go for touring on my bike.

So could you please suggest some chest & back protectors which can be used along with the Breezer jacket. Should i go for bionic ones or tougher pads ( for back) that can be inserted in the breezer jacket.

I know its a mesh jacket so most probably i would have to go for a bionic chest protectors right ??
Or is there anyway to modify the jacket , to insert some kind of chest pads when necessary? ( I know it sounds crazy !! )

Please suggest some options for affordable knee guards also.

I don't intent to put a huge hole in my bank account right now, so please suggest some affordable (yet safe) options
