Picked Her Up Yesterday

[LeeNetworX]

Drove through hours of shit weather to get home yesterday so had to clean her today and give her a once over. Will be riding her to work this week to get to know her better before taking her into the mountains.

[azoomm]

VERY nice. Wow... enjoy that!!

[pauldun170]

[Sean]

Ooh, is that the limited edition whatchamacallit?

[LeeNetworX]

Not the special edition - that one has orange-red lettering, stripes on the rims, etc. Doesn't do it for me.

However, looking at these pics gives me wood.

[tached1000rr]

congrats!

[njchopper87]

Ohhhh... very sexy bike.

[Porkchop]

That is bad as hell....

[Gas Man]

[Riceaholic]

[marko138]

Sweet. Love those bikes.

[Gas Man]

I just chubbed...

Again? I thought we told u to control yourself. :lol: oh wait this isn't wej porn.

Pls continue.

[Rider]

Nice looking bike. I don't care much for the headlights thought but that can be easily fixed. Head on the dual headlights look nice but the side view is a little to be desired.

No fucking way. The bug eye looks is what the ST is all about, son.

[Gas Man]

Agrreed with my bro'ski mark.

[KSGregman]

Awesome....let the hooligan-ism begin. That bike is the pwnage.

[shmike]

She's sexy, Lee.

Do yourself a favor and get some Tankslapper or something similar on the tank to protect it.

Very nice bike. Saw one in gray this weekend, something about those is just dead sexy.

[z06boy]

Very nice...congrats. My best friend rides an 05 S3.

He had narrowed his choices down to that and an RC 51.

Awesome.

They did a great job on the install. :dthumb:

I went back and looked at the pics a second time and still can't see it!

[goof2]

Looks great. Enjoy.

Thought I'd ask since this was brought up. Are these tank slappers? They were on when I bought her.

1st pic: Decent
2nd pic: Meh
3rd pic: Decent
4th pic: Teh seks :dribble:

[Rangerscott]

The SSSA is sexy and even sexier with the uni hole wheel. The only thing that's kinda weird is looking at the side pic; the gauge cluster looks too far away.

[LeeNetworX]

Yep. Looks like a bit of wax build up around the edges.

Ya. Its a bitch getting it out and not scratching the paint. Better than dirt build though.

[LeeNetworX]

My favorite angle.

True. Tried using a Q-Tip or something similar around the edges?

[Adeptus_Minor]

Nice bike, man. :dthumb:

[Rangerscott]

I bet it's nice to get a used bike with an exhaust system already on it. Did you get any the stock cans too?

[Homeslice]

All the focus these days seems to be on the STREET Triple. Fuck that shit. Doesn't look half as good as this.

[Adeptus_Minor]

Provided they aren't upping the asking price, expecting you to compensate them for their accessorizing.
:whistle:

[101lifts2]

Wow...impressed cause I usually don't care for the looks of naked bikes (minus the Buells).

[LeeNetworX]

I bet it's nice to get a used bike with an exhaust system already on it. Did you get any the stock cans too?

? It's a new '09 model - had 17 miles on the odometer. Came from the factory with the Arrow cans as part of an accessory package. Only thing I added so far was the bar end mirrors and the rear wheel nut covers.

[Homeslice]

Does it have catylitic converters, or is the system sold as "race-only?

[Amber Lamps]

Soft tooth brush and Dawn.

[LeeNetworX]

It's street legal (not sure about CA); however, I'm thinking it might not pass the maximum dB level restrictions of some areas. :lol

The package from the factory came with the exhaust, belly pan, gel seat, rear seat cowl and bug screen.

I demod that same package last summer. Killer machine...but I didn't think it was very loud even with the Arrows.

.

So it has cats? Just curious where they are, since they are usually in the OEM cans, but aftermarket companies don't make cat converters yet.

[LeeNetworX]

When they let you demo it, did you get above 5K RPMs? That's when I feel it gets loud.

I believe the cat is part of the header, down at the bottom.

[Rider]

My favorite angle.

You are in desperate need of a FE kit. Looks tits from that angle though.

[LeeNetworX]

I don't know. Kind of like the odd tail on it. I'm not sure I'll be doing a FE on this bike. It's typically one of the first things I do but I may decline doing so with the S3.

[marko138]

Absolutely. I gave it the berries.

[LeeNetworX]

:lol

Nice. Maybe I'm just getting old then, since I feel it's pretty loud.

[Homeslice]

Rear fender looks fine in the 4th pic, but in the 3rd pic it's a bit too obvious.

Regardless, cutting it is only necessary if you're still in your 20's.

[jtemple]

Badass!

[Cass]

teh secks.


I rode a street triple a couple months back, it was beawesome. The speed triple was a full inch taller at the seat, which made me uncomfortable so I declined the ride :( short inseam ftgdl

You said nut covers. :lol

[Gas Man]

That thing could be used as wallpaper in the bathroom... for you... well you know... :D

[LeeNetworX]

for you... well you know... :D

For me to poop on??!?!

[shmike]

For me to poop on??!?!

Well played with your appropriately named dog.

[racedoll]

Ya. Its a bitch getting it out and not scratching the paint. Better than dirt build though.

Maybe I shouldn't have, but I used a toothpick to clean around my decals and such.

Love the bike!

[LeeNetworX]

UPDATE

I love this freaking bike.

/UPDATE

[Homeslice]

The 4th picture in your first post is still the best looking bike shot ever posted on this forum IMO. I'd buy that bike based on looks alone, even though I don't normally like that type of wind-in-your-chest riding position.

[Rangerscott]

The color scheme makes it look like a bastard child.
