    Hi!

    I'm fairly new to riding bikes (it's in my blood though as my Mum and my Grandad both had BSA, Triumphs and Nortons). Now at nearly 50 I decided it was time to give up some of the dangerous activities I do, and take up something far safer ;).

    Had my Tiger two weeks now...it's pretty-much rained every day since I picked it up! Other than the 90 minute ride home from the dealer, I've only managed a few short rides in the beautiful dales of North Yorks. Roll-on the better weather!

    Welcome Nigel. I think we are waiting for that wind to drop, the rain to stop and the sun to come out. Roll on Spring!

    Welcome Nigel. Is your new purchase to blame for the bad weather then?:)
