    Hello! My name is Greg. I rode a Street Triple R for the past few years, and recently traded it in for a 2018 Tiger 800 XCA. I love Triumph motorcycles, and I'm really excited to be on the Tiger, which has been my dream motorcycle for the past several years. I got to take it to some forest roads yesterday and I was very impressed!

    I'll be using this site for information and suggestions. Hopefully there are users near me who might be up for a ride!

    Edit: added a photo of the bike and a rough two-track it handled nicely.

    Welcome along. Pictures go down very well around here. (I suspect half of them can't read. ;))

    Welcome from York UK. I visited the HD factory in York PA back in the early 90’s, they were still swinging things around on ropes to move them about, very old school!
    Is the factory still there or has it unfortunately gone the same way as Hinckley here in the UK?
    Tiger looks nice, enjoy.

    Great intro and fantastic steed. Green is another favoured colour here in the asylum. Don't know about info as like i said here in the asylum nursey has her work cut out keeping them all sane. No kidding and this lot are fantastic you will get all the help you ask for. Do ask specific things in the Tiger section for a dedicated response quickly.
    Regards & Enjoy.
