R100Pilot, I'm sorry, but if you're talking "old", 42 just doesn't cut it, you young whippersnapper. You're about the average age of S3 owners on this site. He!!, I'm 53 and and I'm giving away years to Tracker...... So no more of that "I'm older than most rocks" c.r.a.p.... you're still a pup. :-D

I have a KZ700 (just like the GpZ) and a Speed Triple. The s3 doesn't remind me of the Kawi at all.

Well actually it did at first because my Kawi is Eddie Lawson Green and my s3 was green at first. Which is why it is now Black.. the only color for a hooligan machine like the s3!!

Hey Pilot, your GPZ looks pretty good for a bike that's been totaled twice. And yeah, you're basically on whippersnapper status in my book too.

Can't no one compete with you on that Tracker! :hihi: If R100 is older than most rocks, and he could practically be your son( could it be Tracker's long lost son? :???: ), what exactly does that make you? Older than ______? Fill in the blank ya'll!!!

Oh and btw R100, I'm not as young as you think either! I wished, but believe it or not, I'm older than your girlfriend!

Tracker, when I was a little boy, we didn't own a car, he!l, we were so poor my parents couldn't afford to buy me shoes.

I had to walk 8 miles to school, barefoot, through the snow......uphill.......both ways.

Things were tough when I was young.....

I have socks older than her too, Limey.

I'm so old, we had to walk to school - the wheel hadn't been invented yet. And we had not yet figured out how to domesticate animals :-D

But it's kinda weird - I sometimes hang out with the younger crowd, on accounta the SO an' all. Whereas I'm the old guy with the Speed Triple, one of our 26-year-old ridin' buddies has a '74 Daytona, all original (right down to the oil leaks and the occasional small parts fallin' off). Nice to know some o' the kids are keepin' the old stuff runnin'.
