Hi to all, I'm new to this site. Just bought an 07 S3. Here she is as I bought her



And the back end after I made a tail tidy



I bought her from a design engineer at the Hinckley factory. It had been serviced at the factory 3 days before. I took her home on a trailer and worringly found a pool of oil underneath the next morning! That was the finger tight sump plug. Glad I never rode her home. Then found the fuel tank was vacuuming and after reading a thread on here found the tank breathers connected the wrong way round. Discs are also pitted but I'm getting them replaced under warranty next week and the dealers checking that the correctmap is in for the pipe.
That's enough complaining though, the bike is fantastic and as good, if not better than I thought it would be. The Arrow sounds great yet hasn't upset the neighbours (or the police, so far). Can't see me getting rid for a good few years.

Here is my Triple.
It's an -04 with 13000km on it. Bought it about 3 weeks ago, and I love it!

Owned my first "real" bike in 2003, and just rode it one summer. Realised that sportsbikes wasn't my cup of tea, so I sold it. Now, 5 years later, I finally bought my second bike!

Smile Here's my '08 S3

Just run the black beauty in and fully appreciating its powerful performance. I've booked a couple of Trackdays at Brands, just so I don't lose my license - can't stop looking at her.

I love the original exhaust tone (growl on acceleration & popping on the over run) but have just fitted Arrow slip ons - a different tone all together (sweeter, racier tone, not quite so much popping) and you have the choice of removing the db killers (for Trackday only of course), creating an all round louder, deeper, more powerful tone - so may post again to show them off.

My "new" '07 (didn't want to wait out on an '08). took it with 10 miles on the odometer; currently just breaking 100 miles. The break-in is killing me. I did what I could to make it more "'08-like" by getting forks done in black. I DIY tail tidy by using stock plastic and just reforming it. Blacking out everything I can as I go. Little projects here and there.

Just back from the bar, went outside to take photos of our horrid SPRING conditions, and decided I'd play with exposures and lighting with my Speedy. Hope you like. Just a rough draft...
