    Hi all , first post on the forum. I've just returned to biking in May this year , after a 41 year lay off. Had a Sprint GT for a couple of months but found it too heavy and uncomfortable on my back and hips
    Traded it for a 2012 Tiger 800 , which I found more comfortable. Still getting used to the bike , will do some refresher training in the New Year , to improve my skills. Looking forward to improving my bike / riding knowledge and hope to contribute when I can.
    Best wishes to all
