Thanks Avhinav. He was the most exited guy and he dont want any other bike now
Today morning, I was going to the fish stall and took the key of Ki-ho from the key hold, and the key of duke to adjust the clock. My kid saw that I have two keys with me, so he asked for the key of ki-ho and as soon as I gave him the key, he ran back to home, placed the key on dining table and came back to me. We both (me and wife) had a hearty laugh seeing his antics. Quote:

Congrats on crossing over to the dark side. Don't say you weren't warned!
PS: Another issue with the D390 is the heating, right? I've heard from folks that its great for touring but in commuting, the heat is simply too much. |
@phanilyman: Thanks bro - now that I can't say that I weren't warned ![Wink](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.png) .
I always had a dark side with me - Though I have been riding bullets for almost 10 years now, I always used to have another fill it - shut it - forget it kind of bike in my garage. Still love bullets for what they are, and have a 1967 350 CC with me, for those occasional rides.
Yes, 390 heats up a lot in traffic. Even 200 heats up in traffic, but it is manageable compared to the heat of 390. Quote:

Yes, it does heat up in traffic. And you will experience near tandoori left thighs on summers. |
@Man_of_Steel: Thank you for the wishes!
Took a longish route to office today - rode through couple of quaint villages, farms and roads lined with eucalyptus trees. It was a pleasure attaching the twists and turns and as a bonus, got to ride through about 5 km of roads laid of hard packed earth - the bike did kick up some serious dust today.
I am looking for a sturdy GPS\cell phone mount which can be attached to the handle bar. Any suggestions?
