Hi from York
How do, Paul here.

Got a Monster S4 which I've had for around 6 years now, started doing trackdays 2 years ago. I was looking for a dedicated track bike but for some reason ended up buying a Monster S4RS.

After much deliberation and desire for a 998 i've decided i can't afford one unless I sell the RS. So decided to keep both monsters and turn the S4 into a track only bike and get all S4 challenge kit for it.

Great stuff. Hope to catch you at some point during the season.

Need to find out how to make the monster into a sucessful track bike.

Already got race rear sets and gilles clipons, ohlins rear shock. Might rob the front end off the RS...

Mmmm. I hadn't realised that York was such a small place. Must ask if anyone knows of Paul from York when I am walking around! I'm sure they must know him. Like Taff from Wales,Geordie from Newcastle and Jock from Scotland!

Or he might just give me a locality and find we are in a close vicinity!

Howdo!

Paul is a regular from DuN.

You have two good Suspension specialists near you but since your forks would have to come out anyway, I can see where you are coming from.

However, good guys - used both of 'em.

Oh how we laughed, just a small comment of what area of York, then I would not have put a post.
