Well,

I have finally admitted defeat in the fight to keep riding the bird, It was just too painful for my leg, even for very short distances fl4g71.

Soo last Thursday I became the owner of this:

A 2012 Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200. It is soooo comfortable, and no more aches and pains :yo:

Glad you like it. Each to their own, but it's not tremendously elegant.

Prefer the background in ya siggy pic. It just seems much more aesthetically pleasing to the eye.


I suspect this may be due to the composition of the foreground.:-0)





Any particular reason for going for the Tiger rather than a BMW GSA? Or are they a bit of a clitoris bike?

Nice one Phil. Is that Hohe Acht in the distance?

LOFL Damientt...Bodmin and elegant are not words you'd find in the same dictionary. 8rfl@

Lol! I was sat on the same bench, and the Tiger is within a couple of feet of where the bird was standing, so just different time of day/time of year...

Tried the GS as well, - didn't like it one bit (was told I could have it on test all afternoon, only needed 25 minutes to decide...) Also as you say every coont's got one (especially here in Germany lol!).

Quite cool to have pics of your bikes at the same place.@tu*

A mate's got the new w/c GSA he loves it, upgraded from the old one.
I think next year I'm gonna go round all the local main dealers and blag test rides.
