Funny what you turn up when searching for something totally different:

I rode the S3 White lightening when they were brand new (I think that one had a couple of hundred miles on it when Back Street Heroes got it and I did a quick roadtest for Streetfighters mag)

I did all the riding pics for BSH then as well but can't find the mag :(

Reading the article I loved it, except for the seat, bits dropping off and the rate at which it wore front brakes out. Now I know better lOl

Blast from the past. Happy days... :old:

I was sure it was an S3, I'll stand corrected as you know better than I do, and I got shitloads wrong in those days :coat: .

On a different note Maz, I'm sure I read somewhere on here that you do a clever upgrade to lube the inner mainshaft bearings. If indeed it was you, I need one for my build.

If you can pm me price, p&p and how you'd like paying I'll get it sorted.

No sorry, it would have been from HD UK (or whoever handed out press bikes)

I think it is more like; I got better/more important things to do, than spend half my day gift wrapping things and standing in the queue at the post office. But you are more than welcome to call in and collect or use beggar post
