Been lurking and made a couple of posts. I
have been trying to find a S3 owner in my
area to fondle his/her pride and joy, with
no luck. So, a couple of buddies of mine and
I took a little trip to my nearest Triumph
dealer. Just so happened they had 3 in stock
and to my luck a demo in Blazing Orange. So
after I give everything except for a blood
sample and shot record the sales guy and I
set out on a little joy ride.
Lemme back peddle a bit. My last threads
were questions to ride angle, seat comfort,
engine breaking and so forth. My current NC30
IS WAY TOO AGGRESSIVE of a ride. I nearly
was cut in half at the belt line so a harsh lean
is just something I can no longer do. So my 3
year resto must be sold.
The S3 took a bit to get used to, very touchy
throttle and stop you on a dime. The best part
was the ride angle though a bit leaned over was
much better on my back. With some bars I think
I would be at a perfect angle. I was unable to get
to HWY speeds but we did go through some
twisties.
If it weren't for the idea that I may travel with a
S3 I would get the Street Triple as it fit a bit
better.
Now I truely see what the addiction is all about.
So, soon as I find a home for my current baby
I will be joining the ranks and damn happy to
do so. Thanks to all you guys who helped in my
past threads! AND happy holidays.
