    Evening all,
    Thought I'd join a group as I'm no longer on facebook.
    I own a 2015 Tiger 800XRX
    but was knocked off 6 weeks ago by what's turned out to be an uninsured driver who was on his mobile phone at the time. I'm still riding a hire bike which is a Honda NSX750
    It's ok but not a Triumph.

    Welcome aboard Stu, sorry to hear about your woes, as Cullumity said, have you tried the MIB (not Men in Black, lol) I won a claim from them a few years back when an uninsured idiot rammed into the back of my car, or are you claiming from your insurer's, whichever route I hope you have a favourable outcome.

    We all (well the law abiding amongst us) pay into the MIB which is funded from them premiums of the righteous.

    Welcome aboard Stu. Sorry to hear of your woes, but at least you are still on two wheels. Best wishes with the insurance.

    Hi and welcome.

    Always sad to hear of mishaps, especially by another's neglect.

    Great loan bike you've inherited though!!:grinning:;)

    Welcome to a terrific forum, Stu, and I hope you're back on your Triumph or another one soon. And that you're healed up. I always joke that I'm the only person in the US (maybe the world?) that's not on Facebook. Never have been. Nice to know there's another. ;)
