My 04 S3 SE comes in this week.

I'll be right there with you.

It's time for summer fun and the baddest bike on the road.

I'm with you. My 04 SE is supposed to get to the dealer tomorrow and I'm picking it up on Friday. We'll see what kind of dent we can make in the break in this weekend.

Very cool guys.....

let me tell ya though I'ts rained every day except for 2 lousy overcast east coast days and I made only 67 miles freezing my A** off... backroads filled with sand, and in 6th gear to keep it under 3500rpm's isnt even 55mph. ITS HARD TO KEEP THOSE RPM"S DOWN! But dont get me wrong.... I loved every cold minute of it... good luck guys... enjoy em....

True. It is hard to keep the rpm's down, but when it finally hits that 1000 mile mark, and you can wind her up. You wont be able to wipe the smile off your face!!! :wink:

Finally got it this weekend, and the first 100 miles are brutal. It feels like your shifting every 10 seconds. But after using up those miles in the first day it hasn't been so bad. Hopefully I'll get to the 500 mile service in a week or two and then go from there.

I'm still giddy from knowing its in my garage. I know it looks exactly like everyone else's right now, but the pictures keep me happy while I'm at work and not able to ride. My New SE

It's 3:30 here in Pittsburgh. I pick up my 04 S3 SE in 2 hours.

I'll tell you guys on Monday how I'm sharing your giddiness.

Even though my SE will look like everyone else too for awhile. There aren't many of them I plan on running into. And when it's the baddest looking thing on the road who cares if it looks like you just rode it out of the show room.

Thank GOD I didn't buy the FZ1 I was looking at. A little faster but, a lot more cheesy than the triple. :-D

Yeah, I'm not saying anything bad about the FZ1 or the SV1000, which were the other bikes I was looking at, its just that the Speed Triple (especially the SE) is so much cooler. I just can't see myself being this excited about either one of those rides as I am about my Triple.
