    Now I'd like a report on that one! I'm definitely considering a '12 Tiger 800 ABS as a second bike. I rode it about a week ago, and have been drooling since. Gotta sell a car to do it though.

    Less than 700 miles covered and today at the end of my journey home founds this:

    DSC_9802.JPG

    Thought it was starting to feel a bit funny!

    Now to replace with the same again, or get a longer lasting more touring orientated tyre (Road Pilot, Angel etc)? Trouble is really should replace both together if changing brand....... Would however then be REALLY furious if I did that and got another puncture!

    To work out which is the lesser evil! Or just get a 'better' rear and live with it for a while!?!

    "GGGGGGRRRRRR!!!!!"

    So, treading the same path again, I took Bonnie up the A6 and over to #1 Daughter's in Rushden. Inlet valve in toilet cistern bust and needed fixing. As the old saying goes, 'If at first you don't succeed, call Dad'. Then down the A6 and shot over to my mate's in Westoning for a quick tinnie of mood enhancer and t have a moan about the uninspiring rubbish football LVG's 'philosophy' is imposing on our favourite footie team. A tad drizzly but quite mild so nice to get some fresh air.

    Wind was pretty fierce here on Weds night, and came home to find my new pride & joy on its side...... took a little of the shine off things to say the least.
    Broken number plate hanger, mirror & clutch lever.
    So, Thursday am called Bridge in Exeter. Friday 9:45 all delivered. Great service.
    All fitted & off out to run a few errands, and then for a short spin. All ok, and back in love again!
