Just got back from Birmingham. Vintage festival was a hoot as usual. Saw 5 other Tigers, none were blue. 700 miles or so round trip, good bit of it in the mountains. The Tiger is awesome indeed. Will take a while to get used to after riding the America exclusively for over 5 years. Has more power than I'll ever need, and as good or better fuel mileage than the America. Handles lke a dream.
The most significant difference for me- not a hint of back pain after a full day in the saddle. Got in just a little while ago and I'm walking around like a regular person (pain-free smilie here).
There are only a couple of small thing I need to do like properly aim the headlights and maybe rotate the bars forward a little. Guess I'll miss the occasional geezer asking about my bike. Had one today at a gas stop, but all we talked about were Bonnevilles...
