Well not to long ago after Buelltoberfest I posted a thread letting everyone know I had sold the Uly and picked up a new 2008 GL1800 for touring duty. I mentioned in the thread that I would own another Buell and hopefully in time for MBVI.

Well.....

I am the proud new owner of a Buell again. I purchased a 98 S3T from a badwebber. The bike is currently being torn down to the frame for a rework. I just finished pulling the motor out the frame and I will be taking the bike completely apart (to powder coat the frame, swingarm, etc.)this winter. I am hoping the bike will be ready to ride to MBVI in March.

This is it before the tear down

Wow, that's a great looking ride. What color are you having the frame and swingarm painted?

S2's/S3's never visually appealed to me much, but damn, that's a good touring bike.

Great looking bike. The S3T's are really great bikes and beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. The look of the S3's ans S2's have grown on me over the past several years and next to the Firebolts are my favorites.
