The Riding Gear thread - Team-BHP

manson · 5th July 2008, 13:21

Its almost as important as the motorcycle you ride. Most in our country makedo only with a helmet, and some try to get some gloves, jackets, and there are a handful who go the whole hog for armour for various various body parts.
Lately, riders have seemed to have gotten more conscious about proper riding gear in our country too.
So, lets use this thread to show off and discuss our helmets, jackets, gloves, knee sliders, body armour, the works.

To begin with, my HJC CS 12 helmet when it was new. It does not have a visor anymore.

There was a thread by Rtech on the same subject - protective gear.

xcusi - that thread talked about the importance of riding gear. This one is about discussing one's own gear, so it is different.

Straight6 lots of gear for one man? My number of Jeans is lesser than the number of your riding jackets... lol

Nice collection of kit!

Proxima · 5th July 2008, 18:26

Wow, nice gear you guys have. Am surprised (and happy) that riders in India wear good gear. But dont you guys feel uncomfortable in that gear, vis-a-vis a pair of jeans, a windcheater, lightweight gloves and sports shoes?
