Sunny Guernsey

[shiny_kit]

Hi all. Relative newcomer here, only had my bike licence for a couple of years. 1200 Bandit as my daily commute but fancied something a bit more exciting for Sunday rides and a 2002 S4 came up a few months ago. Certainly fits the brief! I have made a few small mods: replaced the massive indicators with some led ones, and the tea tray with a discreet CF alternative from eBay (not ready to get the hacksaw out just yet). Issues still to solve are the side stand, which seems a bit short and also the foot is not flat on the floor, so maybe bent, and a tacho which works when it feels like it. But that aside it's a lot of fun so far.

Don't you go too quick om those short roads of yours and end up testing the aquaplaning capabilities of the S4 ;)

S4 with 35 max speed limit, bet that's fun !

They tell me it has six gears - I have managed to get third...

Have friends who live in Vale, had long weekend there this year, drove round in their little car with Guernsey rash on the side, nasty little stone walls !

Yes, there are a lot of granite walls waiting to leap out at the unsuspecting motorist. Some nice country lanes though, if you can avoid the Sunday drivers. Don't think I will be using the S4 for work very often though, not much fun in traffic.

Change the drive sprocket for a smaller one (go down a tooth) - it'll make it more usable.

Welcome neighbour (I was born in Jersey and now live in France) :mand:
