    Hi Geof, nice steamer you got there. As for rideouts, I mostly ride with the Chester RAT with North Wales being our favourite destination but we do travel further affield , check out the RAT page on Bill Smith's web site

    Hi Pete, thanks, I have had to do a little work to it as it has been laid up since April after the previous owner passed away. The GIVI Trekker luggage seem to make it look a bit more modern. I will check out Chester RAT. North Wales has the best roads in the North West. Thanks Buddy.

    Hi Guys, thanks. It has Conti Twinduro tyres, heated grips and GIVI Trekker luggage. I Find it light and nimble compared to the Muscle bikes I am used to. It's great. Wish I had bought one years ago.

    Hello Geof. May I wish you a very warm welcome to the forum. I like your badge, RAMC if I'm not mistaken.

    "Ooh er Matron" I know you meant the tyres lol. Believe it or not but the tyres behave well on wet Tarmac as much as off road.

    They look very similar to the "trials universal" tyre.

    They are Continental Twinduro,s as fitted to the new Tiger. I also have a Diversion 900, soon to be advertised. It's currently acting as a "ground anchor" for my Steamer. Do you guys think I am paranoid ?. (No Liverpool jokes please) image.jpg
