      A very good and safe biker not only because he can pop up either of the wheels,scrape his knees on a corner or go fast and make it look stylish but because he very well knows his limits and capabilities and has the patience to learn about others and ride safe ! :)

                      • @ vishwas - i was planning to buy the one for my wife so modular one.

                        @ manish - Just explore with 18-55 and enjoy, once you feel its enough you learnt than go for mega zoom and all, personal opinion since i have a 18-55 and tamron 70-300 lens but i feel 18-55 is more than enough as day to day photography all zoom and all are not required. i would suggest you go for a bigger memory card as the inbuilt phone memory is less, and experimentation will need more space to store the data.

                          • Need help guys ...

                            i am not sure ... but I am definitely not happy with the Continentals of my CBR. I shouldnt be going for a change as well this early but I wonder if there is a problem with the way I am using the brakes or is it a genuine problem with them.
                            On our last ride also, I managed to skid a bit, though on a straight and open stretch. Either I have to judge the braking effort that I am putting in while it comes to high speed braking (~125kmph) or I would have to start riding slow.
                            Any suggestions or if others also felt that Continentals on CBR have a prob. . I tried to put this in CBR forum, but havent got any response.

                            I need to figure this out for my betterment before Kuchh ride .

                            Also, post Sundays, ride, my bike some times starts making an unpleasant sound of metal rubbing hard against each other.(i cant be sure if that its a chain as it makes that sound when the bike is stand still too sometimes, and moreover I should not be hearing any sound of metal parts exposed other than the chain).

                            I am unable to fig this out as it happens at time. And then I shut off the bike, restarts and its gone. So no ideas whats that.

                            My service is due in another 300 kms (done 5700kms, due at 6000kms) and I want to understand what the prob cold be before handing it over to the serviceman. So that I could explain this to him.

                            After the ride, I used the MOTUL chain cleaner and lubricant and left the bike idle for an hr or so. I noticed that it happened after that. It should not be the reason but I am just adding it for the info.

                            Any help/suggestions.
                            thx guys.

                              shashrash, Firstly, Please dont use short forms on the forum, and the continental tyres have issues as i remember, royd had installed the continental on fazer and had gone bad times with it. And regarding the clankig sound did you checked all you fittings and shocks from all angles ? Did you checked the chain tension too ?

                                Shrinath .. will keep a check on the abbrevations ...

                                yah, I have checked all the fittings that I could, for the fairing, rear view mirrors, foot pegs, mudguard and all. Tightened them up too. The chain has a slight lag, but I am not sure if that would be under the tolerance.
                                Doesnt too stressed chain also a wrong thing to have or it should be like that way.
                                How much slag are we looking into for the chains btw to be called as okay.
