Those pictures describe the day I had riding today and just what a 100% correct choice I made in getting my spanked bit*h.
Today was the first day I've blowned the winter time dust of my S3, took it off the stands, gave it the once over to make sure all is good and took her for a ride. Man oh man what a grin this bike puts on my face, she's the worst kind of snot nosed punk and I cant get enough. She's like that chick from "the wrong side of the tracks" that you ought to know better than to have anything to do with but she's beautiful, smart-assed and a bit too hard core in a way no "lady" should be and when you get with her all you want to do it ride it in a manner certainly illegal and most probably immoral but you dont care, you roll the dice and take yer chances.
I rode both my bikes back to back today, first my new Daytona 675, a wonderful ride but I cant yet get silly as it's still being broken in. I've had it about a month now and all I've been able to do is 150 miles total. She's a screamer, easy to ride, quite the looker and runs wonderfully but I'm yet to experience all she has to offer so for now nothing about her makes me wet my pants the good way :-D , after that ride I jumped over to my S3, put the battery in and cranked her over. Ahh, the reminder that the best and most essential accessory to have if you chose to get this bike are the TORS and the remap, lord she sounds angry and horny! I let her warm up a smidge, re-checked all controls and tires to make sure all was okay after her seasonal slumber, clicked 'er into gear and rode around in second dippin from side to side to give the tires a renewed introduction to the asphault. I scooted in a mellow fashion out of the garage up to the main road and waited for the light to turn green. Turn green it did then I let her rip, what a sound, what power delivery I felt like a squid that really should know better. I had a sh*t-eatin grin on my face the whole time, I love the way this bike makes power, no dips anywhere, it's right there-right now and has a nice punch to it. The tranny has no snatch whatsoever, as they said, "there is no drive lash at all to be found on this bike, it has less snatch than an all boys catholic school". Everytime I goosed the throttle all I got was torque and forward motion, Maybe I've just gotten so familiar with this bike but nothing about it tells me to chill out and take it easy, it makes great power and torque, maybe not the most the world has seen but it sure makes more than enough to put you in a casket but this bike is so well put together, and the components work so well together that I just feel encouraged to do more and more..what a punk.
Maybe I'm saying this way too prematurely and maybe I'll have a difference of opinion once I get the Daytona broken in and loosened up but if I had to make a choice and could only have one bike, I would without hesitation choose my little snot nosed bit*h, she just makes me do those naughty things I wouldnt have the inclination to do on my own otherwise and I love 'er for it.
Dont read this as if I dont like or am dissatisfied with the Daytona, like I said it isnt even broken in yet, but my ride on the S3 today was the most memorable thing I've done all day and I'm still smiling about it.
Feel sad for those myriads that dont know what they are missing, and give a pound and a nod to those of us fortunate few that have had the joy and privilage to ride this awesome bike.

Corners, that just about says it all for me as well, the bike absolutley rocks, I had new diablos fitted early december 05 and need a new rear right now and have needed it for a couple of weeks, even in the wet and stormy weather she brings a smile to my face that makes my missus think I'm having an affair cos I come home with a grin so wide you could drive thru, nice pics

I love the S3. Its almost like, every bike that pulls up next to it is scared. Maybe I am strange but, people look at this bike while I am riding, sportbike guys mostly a few hardly guys, and it get props immediately.
