Yeah man the route I take is quite dusty in Bangalore & start off quite early in the morning & return late in the night. Its preety chill most of the time here.Originally posted by Samyaza View PostLeather jacket for daily commute?
Awesome KBC lid!
Thus made a decision to go for Leather Jacket and i guess it will be easy to clean
(got it for 1/3rd the original price thus could not resist Leather over Textile)
Should check how it works out in long run

Nice list of gears there dude...!! I also wanted to buy that knee/shin guard when i got my jacket but to my bad luck that they were out of stock for that moment...Originally posted by Enthusiast View PostFolks,
I got my riging gear from USA (my friend got it for me) 3 months of waiting has finally come to an END
The following are the one's
Nasty Leather Jacket (From SPIDI)
KBC HERO Helmet
Alpinestart Alloy Gloves
Shift Shift Racing Enforcer Knee/Shin Guards
Got all these stuff ordered from
Motorcycle Superstore - Motorcycle Accessories and Motorcycle Gear
Got a good deal on all the products
Though the purchase has left a deep hole (20 grands) I think nothing can match SAFETY.
Started using them since yesterday for my daily commute!

@Enthusiast: Have you been using the KBC Hero lid regularly since the time you got it? How is it? I hope it isn't too heavy?

Although its easier to clean you need to take special care. Its more of what not to use.

the half gloves you mean? AFAIK 2 types - sports and leather.Originally posted by Mindgrinder View Postguys i need gloves for city riding, the one that comes with cut from top for fingers. What do you suggest?
Also anyone knows about where to buy a bolt lock?
sports - will have extra padding in palm area so bad for riding.
leather - wont have fitting and finish.
both you can grab from roadside for cheap price. i dont remember any branded ones on sale.BIKER ...the thrill and sense of self-fulfilment is obtained from living a little dangerously!

i saw some on bluesky but shipping is way to costly, any suggestion for DSG, Angels racing, or cramster? i saw DSG summer for 850/- but no winter protection. Somehow fit of full length glove does not make me feel comfortable.Originally posted by shadez View Post^ +1
