      Go through this thread more carefully. There are some discussions on boots.
      Boots not being widely available in India, & the fact that they are one of the costliest pieces of riding gear could be reasons why they are not too popular here.

      The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

            One of the main reason not to visit this weekend is, salary would get debited at 7 pm , on sunday.. So monday would have been cool with me.

            Wanted to buy a knee guards and motul chain lube.

                    no one would recommend you to buy it even if you are planning to buy that one....i know its a bit cheaper than the NERO but you could probably get a SS or SCOYCO within that price range...and with top notch quality..

                        try out cramsters and also a visit to orion motors koramangala(yamaha dealer) may help.

                          Go for the DSG Revive. The best pair of gloves you can buy at this price range. Costs 1900/- and fully satisfied with it. Highly recommended. Search for my review on the revive gloves for more information.

                          • @ kstatish - If you are willing to stretch a bit go for the full gauntlet Cramster TRG2 that is available for Rs 2300. A full gauntlet should serve you better as a touring pair of gloves. If youre fine with a semi gauntlet, then the Revive it is.

                              Thanks Prateek. Had been to Adventure 17. After some searching, was able to find it. But, it was closed by that time (9pm)..

                              Went to Bittoo Suzuki the next day, and bought DSG Gloves. They cost me around Rs. 2350 along with VAT and 2% extra for card purchase. Dont know the model name, but its good enough with decent knuckle protection.
