Nice bike! Yep, it's a ride to aspire to. One day...

I guess it was  for a new ride, eh? omg Ed! I bet Vicki really digs riding pillion on that! Lynn rode Pillion with Tom at the GA Rally. She loved it! So, when are you going to customize the forks?  Can Pat hear you from miles away when you ride the tiger?

well just so you know.. there is a mate across the pond.. who make's a really nice kit that will lower the tiger for some one who has around a 28"inseam...and it only cost about $85 bucks US...form what i understand the old tiger had a cam in the rear shock so you could make it high or lower for your needs the new tiger does not do that ... but you can get the new one with alower seat and this kit.. REAR SUSPENSION LOWERING PLATES... Ed

exactly why it was frankie who followed me home and
not the street or speed triple.
oh goodie, i get to say one of my favorite new lines again;
"shame on Triumph."
Ed, so psyched for you. vroooom vrooom vrooom all the day long.
so i'm kinda wonderin' if we Sportsters(punnygerlhuh?) should make a
new place for ourselves to hang, like Ryan mentioned.

I AM this tall to ride that ride, but my wallet is not THIS big to get one unfortunately... I've seen some good deals on few year old S3s and such around tho, and even better deals on lightly used bikes like Mert's or Bandit 1200s's also. I could see myself on that... Too bad my wife would definitely notice 3K gone...  Congrats Ed! I sat on Matt's at Charlie's once. Nice bike! Now if he'd let me ride it...

Nice bike Ed! I haven't ridden one (yet), but that's the most comfortable bike I've ever sat on in a showroom. Enjoy that Tiger!

Will don't do it............. YOU WILL WANT ONE and Biker don't say no to sparkles and farkles Triumph did a GOOD job but still left room for improvement........ lights.... centre stand.....oiler....fender extender.... crashbars.... guards....and much more. Have had my white tiger for 14 months now and............... absolutely LOVE it..... 9000 miles and been nowhere!!!!! just pootling around. You are allowed to stay and lurk on here ... like I do but you will also get the same high quality support and camaraderie over on www.tiger1050.com many others are on both sites. Cheers just keep on lovin' it, Mike (tenfifty)

Nice Tiger. I miss mine at times but would not go back to it. I had an 06 955. Lots of power but way to dang tall for me and I am a tall guy. I love me America.
08 America (Black of course they are much faster.) AI removed, Everthing else stock atm

If & when I go for a two bike household, that'll be the one. I'd get the hard bag set up and taller windscreen. The standard sized screen beat me up pretty good at 70-80, and it's hard to keep that darn thing under 80. I fear I'd be collecting tickets. After an 80 mile test ride, I understand better why those folks are smoking the slow pokey cruiser riders. Nice machine, congratulations jh

Thanks FT thats another plug for the tiger site and anyway would I do that? ? ? ? Your meant to say NO then. And even though I only have the one bike at moment (except for old RD 350 YPVS Yam) I still lurk here as you are aware and have a great affinity with speedmasters and possibly the NEW mid sized cruiser..........coming soon!!!! seriously FT the key point is that at the moment it is like here,,, mostly frequented by Nice , likeable, "real" people....... stage direction---""""Taps side of nose with first finger 3 times"""  say no more.

I just got back from VT. Put about 900 miles on the Tigger. No discomfort at all. The hard thing is laying off that throttle...
