The speed triple reminds me of...

[R100Pilot]

Every time I ride the S3, I keep thinking how much it's like the first bike I bought, an '81 GPz550, in red.




Similar size, weight, seating position. I even pulled my first wheelie (by accident) on the little Gypsy. Of course, Speedy has twice the displacement, twice the horsepower, and better handling, but I'll tell ya, that little red bike was no slouch in its day, and a decent example would probably still keep ya grinnin'.

Yeah, I love the standard/naked thing. I guess 'cause you never forget your first.

hmmm... nice subject R100, or should I call you Drtele!?! :-D Anyhoo, I think that me, Limey, and Tracker remind alot of people of the S3! How did I come up with that one? Well, recent poll results show that ya'll either love us, or hate us! And most of the people I run into with my S3, either love it or hate it! And, we're all three bad ass and don't care what people think, just like the speedy! So there ya go. What finer example of men could you find to represent your pride and joy??? :???:

:-D

plus, Limey is almost the spitting image of that bug-eyed front end, don't ya think?

You kids an' your jokin' around! What's _really_ scary is that I'd bet Cheap weren't even BORN when I got that first bike.

And nobody ever did the eyeball thing better than Marty.

My driver license (which unlike Big Ben's, actually has a motorcycle endorsement) sez I'm 42, but my girlfriend says I'm older than most rocks. Older than some sand, even. But she's 29, which is probably older than Cheap's mama, but too young for me some say, so what does she know. Still, I ain't havin' a midlife crisis - I just never grew up.

But I can remember when telephones had li'l round things ya put yer fingers in, and they all had a cord runnin' inta the wall. An' we had to walk to school... 20 miles... in the rain... uphill... even when it snowed... and we had to dodge pterodactyls to get there.

Not like these young punks today with their yeller motorbikes that only work when one wheel's innee air.

Funny thing about that motorcycle endorsement. I'd been ridin' for 10 years when a cop pulls me over an' sez "You ain't got no motorcycle license." I tell him I've been ridin' for years. He sez they changed the law a coupla years back. I sez well, nobody bothered to tell me 'bout that. He was cool, though - said I couldn't ride home if he was around to see it, so I oughta wait five minutes until he's good and gone, and then call a friend to come git me. I had to go through the whole learner's permit an' everythin'. I finally took the ridin' test an' they sez they never seen anybody so quick on the brakes. I sez well, I been ridin' fer a long time - I da*m well better know how to use 'em in this college town or I'da been dead a few times over.

Now what say we load up on some geritol an' go raise some hell.
