Default Re: S3 see's the light of day.....

It was good to see this out-front this morning after it's long period of hibernation. Should you need anyone to run in the motor which as far as I'm aware has no miles on it, I would, of course be happy to oblige.

No?

I think it is fair to say only one person is going to be riding that bike. Looking good Mark. What are you planning to do with her now?

well seeing as Jambo ignored my wave at Kenington park rd traffic lights tonight (just after 6 I'd guess); I can't see him wanting to have a go on the S3 anyway............

But in all seriousness, I fitted the adaptor plate to the S4 today, going for a ride tomorrow, if it makes the bike and everyday machine, then I may think about outting the 404 and getting the S3 back on the road as a sunny sunday bike, to heavy for regular use, but I can't contemplate getting rid of it .

Of course it needs some work, Fortunately I know a man who can...........

Cheers Mark.

97 T509 (885cc engine)
97 T595 (Speed triple front end convertion)
99 Speed Triple (955i)
99 Daytona (Speed triple front end convertion)
2000 Speed triple (955i)
97 Speed triple (139bhp engine)
TT600
T'bird Sport
Speed Four

I've added some pics of previous ones to my sig below.

Cheers Mark.

Alas mine isn't going to be in a state for test rides for sometime to come yet.


Cheers Mark.
