Does your new key set have the ZMA-R red keys?

yep, it's the same sun. I think we probably passed each other on sunday morning at GSB. I was on a black pulsar with a pillion. I did GSB, Ooty and back to blr on sunday between 3 and 3pm.
Cheers,

@anoop: you prolly saw only balaji and manas coz they were ripping while going, rest of the gang were cruising slowly :P
@LJ: Bhai, march ride is very much on cards, we will discuss in CCD about it. Yeah, HID needed to take revenge :P
@gaurav: Sorry man, as you said, it happens, ooty was last minute decision. We will do it again sometime in future for sure!
@Anon: The new key set is of old zma type only. The Zma R keyset costs 200 bucks more. I was not willing to pay 200 bucks more for the stupid plastic key :P
@Hydro: Thanks for dropping by bro, nice to see old gang members :P Yes, i remember seeing one black pulsar on the way to gsb, while i was taking pics, but didn't observe properly :(
