    Hi everyone, I can't believe I have only just found this forum. I currently ride a 2014 Tiger 800 which I have had for 3 1/2 years, it is my second Triumph previous to it I had a Scrambler. Lately I haven't ridden as much as I would like to.

    I'm currently saving for a big trip in either 2019 or 2020, I'm going to ship my bike into Spain and ride the UK & Ireland for about 5 months.

    G'day Becsta and welcome to the Triumph Asylum - you'll soon see why ??!!

    If you come up from Spain into France and need a stop-over, type 36140 Aigurande into Google Maps and you'll find a bunk and a beer.
