Wow, i've finally read till the last page and finally am able to post up to date.
I've been reading since the beginning of this week. Really appreciate the contributions of all those in this thread especially Spectrum and endless, and some others like DenDen, pplater. Although i've yet to pass my TP, which is on 14th may, i've learnt a great deal from reading all the tips and experiences of everyone here. Kudos to all and may all of us ride safe.
