    Hi all,

    I'm new to this forum. Passed my motorbike test 2 years ago after my biker girlfriend got me into it. Bought a second hand Honda CBR600F as my first bike and then after much deliberation bought a Triumph Tiger 800 XRX last year. It's been a great beast to date and loads of fun. So much so that my car doesn't get much exercise these days!

    Cheers,
    Rod
