Hey guys,
You may recall that I started a thread a few weeks ago voicing my concerns about the 06 S3's electrical problems that owners had posted in the sticky "Common S3 Complaints." I received about 18 responses overwhelming in favor of the S3. Well, on July 28 I bought one in Neon Blue from Clinton Cycles in Camp Springs, Maryland. I roadraced with the GM, Bill Gash, from the late 80's until 1995 mostly at Summit Point but I ran into him at Roebling Road and Road Atlanta. Anyway, he gave me a killer deal so I took the plunge. So far it is everything I hoped it would be. I'm still breaking it so easy does it but I can tell it wants to run. I've already printed out suggested suspension settings from Sport Rider and made a few adjustments. I've also ordered a few aftermarket goodies that I can't wait to put on. Just introducing myself and saying thanks for helping me make the decision.
Fred
P.S. I can't PM anyone until I have 10 posts so look for some mindless input until that I reach that number. I'd love to go for a ride with other S3 owners in the Washingon DC area.

Ok...I found it. Bike Week in Delmarva from September 14-17. I'm working Friday the 15 thru Sunday the 17 so I'm probably going up and back Thursday the 14...it's only a 2-3 hour ride. Any Triumph owners meeting some place close to ride in together?
