  • Thank you Aryan da

    I know , I know !! !! i had stopped in a village to get some cigs n tea and the vendor was looking at me with a scared look in his eyes

    there were some chicks at DD hills who checked me out too investing in Riding Gears do have many side advantages as well , no reason why NOT to buy some



    uhh some more queries

    - is there any riding gear to protect the thighs ? , my riding pants have abrasion proof material (which wont tear easily) but they don't have any padding / protectors.

    - best backbone protector ? the backbone padding in the DSG nero jacket isn't really going to help much in an impact. need a better shock absorbing
    protector (just backbone)

    I am not slim by any means, slightly plump (read : new year's resolutions to lose weight)

    however the riding pants + kneeguards grip the leg tightly
    and the loose image produced by the DSG nero jacket makes the legs look thin relatively

    A man's testosterone level is directly proportional to bhp that he's using on his motorcycle.

        Ohh....i see...so i guess the DSG is to be put at fault for this...!! BTW, is that jacket of yours oversized..??

          And the Sale Price for the helmet was 3.5 k, but i think that must be with plain visor.
          The sale is still on..just visited the DSG 2-3 days back....!! But the stock seemed very less are left...!!

          So, if anyone is planning to buy Daijya's then give a visit soon....

          • actually yes and no
            the dsg nero is tad odd

            the arms are perfectly fitting, but the torse part is okay somewhat and its wide at the waist.

            a size lower results in very restricted arm movements, which renders it useless

                You can tight the Jacket at the waist part..!! And then see whether any improvements are there...

                  no even after adjusting to the max its still slack

                  maybe im out of proportion

                    Then i guess its a problem with DSGs...couple of my friends face this problem too....these DSG jackets including the NERO and the SPIKE are pretty loose on the waist even if its tightend the full at the waist...!!

                            • I do like the desgin of the primal gloves and intend to procure it.

                              Price is 2499 rs according to DSG site and print advertisment.

                              If i remebered rightly i have read somewhere in this thread only that this is not waterproof.
