MelMIK. Welcome to the Family. Cracking Machine and about time don't you know we have been waiting for you. Nursey will love that great picture and will find administering the meds a lot easier tonight. Ride Safe & Enjoy Joe.
Just a put a few more miles on it. Picked it up from Dealer in Cardiff, home to Taunton via Fowler's in Bristol (for a top breakfast).
You wont regret this bike, i have a blue one. Two minor problems, one is they are a little heavy to drag about. Two is they are not cheap. Apart from that,, totally superb on every level.
Planning a ride to the South of Spain this summer. A few more not quite as far beforehand. See what adjustments to make. A little trip to the mcn show at Peterborough soon.
I'm getting on great with it. Had a few full day rideouts on it with the missus on the back. I can totally understand now about all the talk about it being very top heavy. It's rock steady at speed and a pleasure to ride but when slow it can be tricky. When parking it's always in the back of my mind "keep it balanced" because if it starts to go over I don't think I would be able to stop it falling and I'm 6ft 2. Off around Cornwall for a couple of days and the MCN bike show, just putting in the miles before our Spain trip. Would highly recommend it but only for confident riders. Thumbs up from me. Just got back from a Rideout to Weymouth yesterday. Checked the bike over as I always do and found a nail stuck right through the rear tyre. Fortunately it sealed so didn't go flat. Guess I'm off for a new tyre this week ! Another reminder why it's always good to check it over.
Good yo hear you’re enjoying ! I got the speed triple RS and due to a lower back problem the slightly forward position is causing an issue over about 100 miles .... been considering a swap but Im 5’ 10” with 30 inch inside leg and have had the Speed suspension lowered to accommodate .. Can get same done on Tiger so was thinking that (having ridden for 30 years) I’m confident enough with big bikes as long as I’m reasonably flat footed .... looks like a cracking machine mate
