    Hi All,

    I am new to this site, just thought I'd say hi.

    I am 51 and my ride is a 2015 Tiger Sport. It is an absolute dream to ride with enough power to keep anyone out of trouble. Finally, I have found a bike with the perfect riding position (no back ache).

    I have owned it for only 4 months and had the pleasure of riding during a rare English scorching summer. Had a great ride to Brands Hatch in July for BSB. Would love to experience riding abroad for the first time.

    My bike is booked in next week to be lowered due me being vertically challenged at 5'7". I do find the bike very heavy especially if I have to move it on foot or walk it backwards into my garage. However, that is all forgotten once I am out on the road. I am hoping the mod will get my feet flat on the ground making maneuvering easier.

    Happy riding

    Don
