        As far as the online thing is concerned I second Puneet1's comment.
        10 Commandments:
        1)Thank thy God for being alive.
        2)Thou shalt respect one's own life and the live's of other road users.
        3)Thou shalt respect one's own bike.
        4)Love thy bike as thy self.
        5)Always wear safety gear.
        6)Alcohol is a strict NO!
        7)Thou may lust after thy neighbour's bike specially if its of the R1 kind!
        8)Thou shalt ride with 'ultra-most' care and caution when on Indian roads.
        9)Thou shalt never leave the engine running at long traffic halts.
        10)Thou shalt follow all of the above.

            I actually wanted to include 3 Opinion Polls.. but later found out that Only 1 Poll is allowed.. per thread

            Anyway, if you guys have any Favourite "Desi" Auto Journalist, then please do include their name as well.
            Lets see how Well Known/Liked are our "desi" auto journalists.

                  Bike India i feel is very reliable!
                  But I kinda feel that xbhp is one notch higher be it the sea of knowledge or the awareness!!

                  PS:One of the very reasons i started wearing my helmet is because of xbhp!kudos!

                    It's Overdrive which gets my vote!!

                    In the editor/journalist front,it's Sirish Chandran and Hormazd Sorabjee of ACI which i like the most.In TV media, even Siddharth Patankar is equally impressive who knows what he is talking in the automotive world!!

                      Siddharth Vinayak Patankar, the gentle smiling host of Car & Bike on NDTV.. yep I kinda like him too.. easy presentation style, devoid of drama and histrionics.

                      But I also wish we had some superstar automotive journalists like "Jeremy Clarkson" of BBC Top Gear. His TV shows are collector's items.

                        None to be frank.. I don't trust any mag's Desi Bike Reviews.. but for SBKs my vote goes to Bike INDIA.
                        Those people who tell you not to take chances
                        They are all missing on what life is about
                        You only live once so take hold of the chance
                        Don't end up like others the same song and dance

                          ^ I buy Bike India for the superbike tests only. As regards to Indian bike tests, XBHP rocks!

                          The journalist i like will be Adil Jal Darukhanawala with Overdrive! That were the golden days!

                            BSM has been my #1 for the last god knows how many years. Brilliant writing thats woven with passion. Top Gear India is second mainly for its international content and amazing photographs. If you havent seen them, its worth picking up 1 to admire the brilliance.

                            Was a big OD fan but nowadays I dont pick it up, I feel they tend to over-write their articles a bit. No offence to OD fans or anything, I was one for quite a few years. Just my 2 cents.
