Pulsar 220 Launched....

hey i got this from http://indian2wheels.blogspot.com/

First Pics of the Pulsar 220 in Pune Probiking Showroom

There has been reports posted today morning on XBhp and Overdrive Forums stating that the Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTSFi has been spotted on display in a Bajaj Showroom in Pune ... Catch the discussion in Overdrive forum hereThe best part is the Price. It seems the Pulsar 220 DTSFi has been priced at Rs.83,559 (on road) in Pune..!!

"Disclaimer: The veracity of the news is yet to be validated.... Stay tuned for confirmation of the news" If the above news is true then its a very competitive price by Bajaj Auto. The Pulsar 220's nearest rival the Hero Honda Karizma is priced around Rs.81,000 (on road) in Pune. And with the kind of goodies that come with the Pulsar 220 DTSFi, I think it is still Rs.15,000 cheaper for what it has been priced.

Great news for Bike Enthusiasts..!!

New look Karizma

Oooohh technical advancement at HH, first red spark plug cables and now red alloys,
Actually a major advantage of owning a HH bike is youre always sure that HH is not gonna outdo the earlier models like Bajaj.
eg. the old CBZ wins hands down in front of the hideous new one.

Now the Karizma, existing zma owners will be laughing their hearts out. Red alloys...red alloys....
i mean who takes care of design in the HH R&D if such a thing exists.

Oh dear and that graphics. Somebody tell me this is not happening, there is still time for HH to rethink. Just imagine the fate of guys who buy red zmas, their alloys would color coordinate.... ...UUGGHHH........NOW EVEN THE CHINESE CAN LAUGH AT US..HH..PLEEAASSE..NOOO

Google Hacks

Recently discovered something very unusual about the gmail email id.
Suppose that if you have a gmail id by the name of carljohnson@gmail.com, then it is same as carl.johnson@gmail.com and even same as c.a.r.l.j.o.h.n.s.o.n@gmail.com ,yes this is true there is ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE between these 3 ids.

Ah, now i know you want to check them yourselves....go on...

The reason for this is that the gmail server does not recognise the dot(.) character and so this kind of thing occurs.And yes one more thing.

One more name for your e-mail id would be carl.johnson@googlemail.com
If u like it please post comments....
