Looks and feels nice, but almost 10 times the price of my fake Alpinestar gloves.

Its a glove-y day
Rode out early today to Kelana Jaya to visit the Eidaman shop, Kelana Jaya. I wanted to get a better pair of gloves, but at 10am, it wasn't open yet. On the way out of KJ, I saw an interesting motorcycle shop and bought a pair of ori Alpinestar S-MX Air Carbon gloves. En. Nizam, who rides naked Ducati was very friendly and explained that the new shop, called K&J Bikers Fashion, opened on 16th September. They are the sole distributor of iXS Motorcycle Fashion (from Switzerland).

The Recovery Period
Its been 1 week and 2 days since the accident at Midvalley. I've completed the antibiotics dose and the injuries are recovering well. The bleeding on my right hand has stopped a few days ago and the pain is going away. The hand is almost back to its full strength.
Went to check on my bike at the workshop. The damage in terms of RM is huge. Its gonna cost me almost 2k to get it back on the road. I highly suspect the PJ Wong Motor workshop is charging too high, but I don't have another workshop contact. This may be the last time I visit them.
I'm taking the opportunity to upgrade the front disc brakes, get wider Duro tyres and a Givi visor. I'm also gonna get myself another pair of gloves with more protection. Will also be shopping for a new MHR helmet clear visor, as the current one is scratched up already :(

Jacket and Accessories
I'm ecstatic now. A friend just gave me a leather jacket and matching sling bag. Thank you Mr. Au Kar Wai, you have made my day! Poser pics follow...
The jacket is a perfectly snug dark-brown leather jacket. On its reversible side, a linen-blended lighter-brown with menacing double horizontal stripes:
The leather jacket above is much lighter than my current padded jacket bought from Pertama Complex. This black jacket has cool reflectors, is waterproof and has some thin padding at the important joints:
Last but equally important are the reasonably priced (not-so-original) Alpine Stars gloves:
:)
