    ZMR was really really good. No issues with power delivery, Nor did i face any issues for the full fairing. It was a bit tough with heavy cross winds (Diskit & M'La) and in large Water crossings - The full fairing was kind of a problem as the water was pushing away the fairing and i had to cross it across.

    But having said that, where ever ZMA was crying to breathe - ZMR passed through with ease. Again, Never had any power delivery issues - even towards Marsimik La. Mileage was around 50!! Yes, Constant around 50.
    Did you take photos with the SI soldiers.? If you have, can you post them.?

    What.. Mileage was around 50..? Hey.. Don't lie. I was thinking that such a big machine will be able to give a mileage of max 30.

    Ananth: Finally, we have your thread up and running. Great! It was good to meet you and Steve here in Delhi, during a hot and humid evening at the dhaba.

    I'll be glued to this thread now, for days to come. As for B2L, he is as kind hearted as the word "KIND" itself is.

    Good going guys!
    Thanks Aryan. It was good to meet you too at the Dhabha
