Well, you know I am game for a ride :!:

The Yahoo list has a wealth of info, its just not very user friendly IMO, hence Triumph-Tiger.com

Hi:



I'm Dave, and I have had my Tiger about a month.  I bought it out of state and rode it home 1700+ miles (see "why a tiger posting").  I have had my license about 25 years, but didn't ride much for a while while the kids were small.  In the past three summers, I have put on about 20,000 miles on four different bikes, and made it though an accident (the other guy's fault) that totaled the bike, and ejected me at about 45-50 mph.  Other than the accident part, it has been a great three years, and I look forward to putting a bunch more miles on.     8)

Hello the house!



The Toad is currently involved in a quest to find a new bike to replace my recently sold '81 Silverwing.  I saw BigDave's link to  this forum whilst  logged in at AdvRider, and decided to check it out.  I also know RobZ and RedMenace from AdvRider and they have been helpful in the past with questions on the Tiger.



As far as what bike I will get, the Tiger is still in the lead, even though my wife says that the DR would have to go should I purchase a big trailie.  I am fortunate to have a decent Triumph dealer near where I live (Rocket Motorcycles in San Diego), the other dealer ship that was only five miles away quit selling Triumphs and  now only carries Big Dog and was an Indian dealer too.  



To those that know me, it may seem that I am taking my time in my search for a new ride, but I have to keep it for at least as long as it takes to pay it off, so I have to be sure that it is some thing I will want to ride for several years.    I suppose that I shall keep my posting to a minimum, as I really have nothing to offer those that own a Tiger, or are considering one, other than I know for a fact that it is a FUN bike, having ridden one several months back at a Demo Day.



Thanks for taking the time to read this little missive, and best wishes for the forums BigDave.



The Lord be with you all.

Hi Toad,



The Tiger, as I'm sure you've heard/read plenty of times, is the most versatile bike you can buy for the money, IMO.  What's holding you back?  The new Tigers are great - awesome power, great comfort.  But if you could find an older (94-98) Tiger....., well, you would have the keys to a bike which occupies the rarified air of the very top echelon of motorcycling.  Style, substance, plenty of power, comfort, and no Tiger stripes on the tank. :wink:   It doesn't get any better.  (And it doesn't get much cheaper, either).  There are several low-mileage examples still around for less than 5 grand.  There might be one or two of the unenlightened on this list who disagree, but you have to ask yourself if the new bike smell and 20-some-odd horses is worth another 5 or 6 thou.....but I think we both know the answer 8)
