Well sold the GS and am now on the way to Milwaukee to pick up a new to me bike. No, not the brand native to Milwaukee. Tiger 800. Gonna try that type riding for a bit before I get too much too old for it.



I was riding a tiger 800 last Friday as a loaner bike. I really thought is was a fun ride, way different from a cruiser. I tooled around whitewater lake state park on it. On and off road. It handled nicely. Only thing I noticed was when it started raining the bike was kind of squirrelly of the wet pavement.

I had a Honda 350 twin on/off road back in HS. The tiger 800 was like that but nicer.
