Hello guys,
Bought an LS2 helmet in Matt Black color!
Comes with air go(adjustable chin pads with pumping mechanism) and overall, the helmet is very good.
The quality of interiors is nice and has 4 air inlet ports.
Pleased with the buy.

Mesh or textile?

I am in mumbai and want to buy a jacket, the jacket will be used only for touring (rajasthan and leh) and not for city ride in mumbai. Kindly suggest should i go for textile or mesh?

A bakra returning from the US got it for me. 166$ for the lid and 40$ for extra dark visor!

Just hope the bakra is not reading your post

Praful - Take a peek at Gaerne boots. They (bike bandit/motorcycle superstore) have a special edition one that retails for around 270 USD and it looks super sexy.

Google for motorcycle closeouts and you'll get a long list. Search for my post in reply to tibby's post few pages back and there is a long list of online stores which have closeout deals regularly.

Leh is cold and Rajasthan is hot. Two very different places. Mesh is suited best for the latter and textile with warm liner for Leh. I dont know if the Mesh jacket with warm liner will keep you warm enough in Leh. But the textile one might cook you nicely enough in RJ. Did i confuse you enough?

The bakra is very much an xBhpian

2 lifetimes, 30 years, 8 months and 19 days after the order was placed with Riders Discount, my Alpinestar SMX2 boots are finally here ! They cost $ 189 and Customs imposed a duty of Rs 1135. Way cheaper than what they cost in India Rs 14250.

Will be using this for daily (non-office) use.

@ Vibhor - Perfect fit! Thanks for all your help

@ Ranjith - The rains have finally eased. The boots are here. All that is required is a good old fashioned proper servicing for the bike & I will be back full time ! Rather comfortable while walking around.
