What is XENA you are talking about? Googling on it took me to some bike disc locks and security products. Is that what you meant?

Yup.

@Nitin: Did you buy the jacket and gloves?

Yes. XENA Disc Locks!

Yup.

@Nitin: Did you buy the jacket and gloves?

My size is out of stock @ DSG. They claim to replenish it this weekend (which if you remember, they are saying from the past 2 months).

Please suggest some jackets for in the city riding..!!!!!

Hi All... I am very eagerly looking forward to but a meshed jacket for primarily city riding under this scorching Pune heat. It becomes difficult to ride my usual touring jacket in the cite for that matter under extreme hot weather. Need a few stores in Pune, I could check out for the same. If Mumbai has better options then I could get it from Mumbai too. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I am not quite aware of all the brands out there know a handful of them so please suggest me considering the usage, basically in the city and cost.
Also, AFAIK, Mesh jacket wont work in the rains. So is there any thing I could do to my current jacket that would make it capable of beating the rains, to a greater extent. I dont think so the one that I have is a water tight one .

If there are any stores in Pune, please send in the locations and preferable route as well from Pune station. I would check them today only.

cheerzz..
ride safe and wear helmets ...


Thanks..

Btw, the KTM showroom has started selling KTM merchandise. I saw KTM jackets in the Bund Garden showroom. You might want to check them.

Ohh, is it...its still not in stock?

@Alibaba: Ya already seen, they are a bit overpriced. Jacket retails at 15k, & Gloves retail at 5k.

RJays Octane (~8K) or now I'd go for Joe Rocket Pheonix (~10K). If you don't want to spend that much don't go for anything else other than RJays Swift (~5K)

No jacket can protect you against Indian monsoon, no matter what the claim. Best you get an oversize duckback to wear over it.

Why only city? These mesh jackets would be useful during touring too! My octane saves me from the heat on the highway to a good extent.

has anyone done any headlight upgrade to HID or higher wattage lamps or put fog lamps on their bike from Pune ? looking for a good mech who can suggest what can be done on the impulse.

They are planning to reduce the price, so lets hope for the best

RJays is a good option for Mesh jackets..

The Midnight Offroading - Telbaila thread is up...Please have a look..

http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/tourer/22175-midnight-offroading-telbaila-amby-valley-lonavala.html

Went offroading and got to know one more use of the helmet's padding..

Its a good place for lizards and insects to sleep

I slept in between the rocks seen in the pic next to the helmet..





Early morning quickly wore the helmet and rode the bike for about 5-10mins...i constantly could feel something moving inside my helmet..but thought it must be the cap of the offroading helmet moving..

Got off the bike and removed the helmet only to find this



Moral is never sleep in crevices where creatures are supposed to sleep and if you do...even if you dont check your baggage..make sure you check your helmet first !

nin,

You are extremely lucky, extremely so. This part of Maharashtra is indigenous to the saw scaled viper and the common krait, two f the most poisonous snakes in the world. The krait especially is aggressive, foul tempered and bites at the slightest perceived provocation. Its venom is so toxic that it almost dissolves skin and bone. Had it been any of these two beauties, you would have been a stiff within 10 minutes flat. And the place where you slept is the most favourite spot for these guys. I am surprised that you did not exert some basic care when out in the bush...

Your fotos bring back the fondest memories of my camps in the National Defence Academy and Indian Military Academy and long range patrols in the Northeast. No dearth of snakes, scorpions, lizards, leeches etc. But we used to undertake one simple drill - beat the ground around for some time, flatten the bushes and keep away from crevices in rocks. Spread some kerosene/diesel around - the smell puts off the snakes. Shake all boots hard, beat them on the ground well before putting one's foot inside - standard drill in Rajasthan (boots are No 1 favourite bed time spots for scorpions)

Perhaps the vibrations from the bikes and your feet dispersed the snakes this time. Next time, you may not be so lucky.

Take care.
