    New to this forum and new to riding (received my first-ever MC endorsement Aug 5, 2017). Happy owner/operator of a 2017 Tiger 800 XRt (bought new Jan 26, 2018).

    I'm a daily commuter in Seattle and look for excuses to ride all the time. "Tyger" has 16,000+ miles, all mine, and has taken me all over the Northwest US. On all bikes, I have over 26,000 miles to date. I guess you could say I enjoy riding.

    I keep sitting on other Triumphs, sometimes with the key in the ignition, and am afraid I might end up adopting another one. But Tyger is my favorite, especially with the Pilot Trail 4s in the Seattle Sprinkles.

    This is Tyger during a trip through Montana in June 2018.

    I decided to embrace my "oldness" but live like I don't GAFF.

    Also, that Rocket III is one of the bikes I keep "sitting on" at Triumph of Seattle. Afraid it might follow me home...

    Hi there
    I’m over in Alberta and planning a trip over your way next spring. I’ll be on my Speedmaster which is a pure delight for longer runs. Any hints on nice runs in your area. Being landlocked I do rejoice at being by the sea

    I would be grateful for any suggestions

    Steve
