    Bought a Triumph Tiger 800 XRT in March 2017. Just back from a tour around France visited a few places including Annecy, Lyon, Futurescope, Saumur, Normandy. Interesting trip any one has a question just ask.

    Yes I have the adventure side panniers and used a Touratec role bag. I learnt that the top box would have been a good addition for securing helmet and jacket on walk about which proved to be a bit of a problem at times. For me this was a huge learning curve. Spent two nights at the Riders Rest a motorcycle B&B met up with riders from Kent who passed on a few tips to me.

    I have one Barry, where's the pic of the bike? The inmates get very agitated without pictures.

    And welcome aboard btw.
