Well, we must ride soon, now that Spring is in the air.. Well, close anyway! Congratulations on a bad ass bike! We got to get together, cause I want to see it.... =)
well, my buddy just blew the engine in his white one last week. the middle piston was sitting sideways in the cylinder - monitor your oil level carefully and stay on top of oil changes - he lagged and the sludge buildup killed it!
Those S3's eat the oil somehow. Every time I check mine it seems to be low. I tell anyone who has a new S3 to watch the oil carefully. Sorry to here about your buddies bike...
I know huh,, the lane splitting thing is not as fun on this bike yet,, getting used to it,, avoid it as much as possible... how are you enjoying your new bike?
