        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.

        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
        1) 1999 Suzuki Samurai
        2) 2005 Bajaj Pulsar DTSI 180 (G2)
        3) 2007 Baja Pulsar DTSI 200
        4) 2008 Yamaha Gladiator 125cc
        5) 2009 Yamaha YZF R15
        6) 2009 Honda CBR600RR, Phoenix Edition
        7) 2011 Ducati Monster 796

          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.
          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...

              You didn't really need to mention his 'designation'!

              @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. That look at these articles:

                          the half gloves you mean? AFAIK 2 types - sports and leather.
                          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.

                            Also info on bolt lock please here is the video: i am planing to use to lock my bike tyres. or would u suggest an autocop?
