Review: Rynox Navigator Hydration Backpack

One thing you should know is that I love bags, and I have quite a few of them, in different kinds. In my head, there are purposes behind it. But I am always looking for general-purpose bags. I have a couple of them, which are jack-of-all-trades kind of bags, which I love. Unfortunately,...

Big Loop Ride in a Day

We wanted to check whether we can ride for long hours if required. Also, just to check our physical condition. To do this, we had to ride a loop around Bangalore, covering different types of roads and elevations in a day, and at least 600 km. We had an idea of the route,...

Review: Scala Viper Gloves – Black Neon

I am reviewing this late, but this is the first gear that I bought when I decided to restart motorcycling. I still think that, after you get a decent helmet (in my case, borrowed), you should get a decent pair of gloves. I have never bought or worn motorcycle riding gloves. I have...
