Triumphrat

zmann · 05-15-2006

Hi all,
Just wanted to see who else is in the area. I just ran into stmike up at Newcomb's Ranch this weekend (one of two Triumphs among the 40-50 bikes up there, the other being a new 675).

We are probably going to share a Tuneboy cable to help lessen the cost.
If any other local 05/06 S3 riders are interested in using the cable with their Tuneboy software (you'll have to buy the software license for your bike still) or in just riding together, please post or PM.

Cheers,
Zohar

Hey Zohar,

I live in Long Beach and am interested in finding other S3 owners locally for rides & discussions. Send me a pm if you like.

Thanks...

I'm planning on hitting Angeles Crest this Saturday - 9.30am at the gas station - if anybody wants to join me. Got a '99 S3 and a mixed bag of riding buddies...

If any of you guys ever go slummin down to San Diego County, let me know--LOTS of good roads here in north county!

Just a few minutes from the Ortega near Elsinore. Hell's Kitchen is my frequent lunch stop. Not many of us around here.

I'm up at Newcomb's Ranch most weekend mornings. Zohar's idea for sharing the cost of a Tune boy cable is a good one. As soon as we all get our new exhausts we'll have to look into this seriously.

Hi,
I'll try to get up to the Crest Sat. morning- probably on the VFR until my new tire arrives for the S3 and probably will be riding 2-up until a bike is found for my girlfriend (anyone selling a functional starter bike under 400cc for under $1500?)

MrBiff2You and those more southerly- do you folks ever get up to Azusa, Glendora, Angeles Crest, Mulholland or other points more northerly?

stmike- You heading up to the Crest this Saturday? Might be rain up there Sun if the weather forecast is to be believed.

Regards,
Zohar

WORK FUBAR FOILS YET ANOTHER RIDE

AP- 6 hours 43 minutes ago

LOS ANGELES, CA - Earlier today, plans to meet up with fellow area riders were waylaid by an furious bout of work-related pages stemming from a meaningless event likely caused by an obsolete and malevolent computer drunk on city power.

One disgruntled but extremely attractive witness was quoted as saying, "Zohar- for fook's sake! Wake up- your pager has gone off 4x already. Aren't you on-call?"

Polls indicate that "motorcycle vs work" statistics are remarkably similar to the "can vs bottle", "motorcyclist statement vs police officer statement" and "monkey vs robot" numbers.

Zohar, while unable to comment at the time, indicated his unflagging approval of being on the phone with tech support for 6 Saturday hours by pointing down with all but his middle fingers.

I was there, but I don't think any other S3 owners were. It's not supposed to rain until Sunday night or Monday morning, so I'll probably go up again tomorrow. Have to put those break-in miles on.

I was up there. STMike - what that your S3 parked under the tree in front of newcomb's? We didn't stop there - usually head over the the cafe over on the forest hwy. Next Sat. I'm gonna head down to the dealership in Brea to test ride the new Daytona and Sprint. I'm trying to decide between replacing my '99 S3 with an 06 or 07 (when the come out) S3 and the Daytona. They don't have any S3 demo bikes so the Sprint is the closest I'll get... Should be fun...

Let me know when any of you are gonna hit up ACH or Malibu. They're both pretty easy for me to get to.
