Brands for less!

I discovered a new shop in Salmiya today that goes by the name Brand for Less. I was referred to it by a friend, I found excellent Cordura riding gear for the bike at low prices. The bike pants you see in the pic are made of Cordura with 3m thininsulate and a thermo inner lining which provide warmth in coming cool days ahead. I also found waterproof riding gloves with thin insulate. Price tag for the pants 18KD.

Men over 40 are chatter boxes!!!!

Well its not state of the art, its a handheld it has 40 channels, and its in my Aramex UK Inbox. Now depending on the speed of delivery I can hook up this baby in a couple of hours to keep me connected with the gang. I wonder what type of intellectual conversation NOT!!! we will be indulging in? Another weekend of tweaking ahead and that will be my last! Next Friday, the fiddling stops and the action begins! Can't wait till the 9th...

To CB or not to CB

Decisions, Decisions, every luxury cruise liner on this trip i.e the Goldwings are boasting a CB communication unit, the team recommended that I get one for my GS, in order to keep the communication and fun level on the road. I personally hate MP3 and CBs and Gizmos while riding as i like to focus on the road. Anyhow I am sold on the idea and trying to put together a communication unit on the GS, need to borrow the unit get an antenna and custom wire the bloody thing.Will keep you posted on the modifications.

Motorcycle Gear

This trip is turning into a wardrobe nightmare. Being a Harley rider and proud owner, I feel like a woman stuck with designer wear. My closet is stuffed with HD shirt, jackets, boots, everywhere I travelled, I always managed to pick up some Harley gear. For the trip I needed some weather gear and boots enduro style. Obviously the best place for budget clothing is eBAY, I wanted to pick up functional yet new inexpensive stuff, this is what I came up with for $300.
