    Hi guys quick introduction I’m Dan 40 from Great Yarmouth in Norfolk U.K., non bike owner at the minute but am currently shopping around looking at Triumph Tiger 1050’s. Anything from 2007-2013 slightly newer would be nice but out of my price range at the minute. Ideally would love a 1200 explorer, but again they’re way up out the price range. Last bike I owned was a Honda vtr1000f about 8 years ago only sold it has used to hurt my wrists leaning over the tank. Been after an adventure bike for a months now (got to spend some redundancy money on a toy) looking forward to doing some researching and plenty of reading.

    Thanks for the warm welcome, I only get online occasionally as the wife always finds me ongoing work to keep me occupied. ( I think personally she’s doing every thing she can so I don’t find a bike.)

    Welcome Dan, I'm no too far from you, perhaps we'll meet one day soon on the back lanes of Norfolk.

    Would be nice too, once I find a bike.lol. I’m a bit particular and the last thing the mrs said was if you get a bike then your not spending money buying upgrades etc.lol. So just means hunting for one that’s got all the extras already.
