  • Is there any place in mumbai except wadala which sells DSG? One more question, scoyco Jk-17 or DSG maze in terms of usability(I'm gonna use it daily, as well as for a few long rides), reliability and durability. Which one is better.

        I assume what he means is that its tough to let go when you need to upgrade to more expensive or better boots.... also getting used to the Italian stuff can be an expensive affair.

          Oh oh , missed the point.
          Had a look at other brands too, just shortlisting things according to my budget, also liked AXO primato 2 boots but not sure of the protection they provide, i mean about the company, look good though.

              A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

                I also saw that RJay's swift comes within the 6k range. How is that jacket. Anybody using it? It's totally water proof and has all the protectors. Any bad experiences with that jacket? Really confused between these jackets please somebody shed some light.

                      Scoyco JK-17, i am using it everyday in mumbai's weather and i am absolutely in love with it. Still no threads coming off or the zippers failing or anything.. You can also go and check the jacket at AH Helmets Andheri. according to my experience, it is a better VFM. RJays are really good ones too...

                      cheers

                        How does it fare in rains??? Is it water proof? How long have you been using it?

                          Well Mumbai is still far away from monsoon so no rain testing yet. JK-17 is water resistant, not water proof.. I believe RJays have waterproof riding jackets.. don't remember.. others may be able to give you a better insight. i have finished 2 months of extreme rough use ownership and still have no complaints with this jacket.
