Just the Way it is
Posted: Mon Feb 20, 2012 11:52 pm
Picked up my newly acquired S3A from El Presidente the other weekend. 
I hadn?t seen it before I agreed to buy it but I was really happy with the look of it when I got there.
On the Monday I took it for the MOT but it rode like s**t
I asked the bike shop owner to take it up the road whilst waiting and as he pulled away I noticed the back wheel was wobbling and looked well Pi**ed and appeared to have a bulge so we tested the wheel which turned out fine but some fool had put the wrong size inner tube in it ,so the tube had doubled over and twisted itself in places causing the bulge. I Put a new tyre and tube on and hey presto sailed through the MOT and thankfully rode superbly on the way back. 
I had insured it on the frame number through Peter James so went to the local DVLA. The very next day the reg arrived so within three days of picking it up from Rick it was all road legal and I?m thrilled with it so much so I?ve decided to keep it ?as is? with it?s faded paintwork and aged related original classic look
and I really love it just the way it is. done 250 mile on it now and all is fine
Cheers Rick
