Just found this, it may interest some folk, note it doesn't start until June and you get to ride an 800 icluded in many of the tours.
Following the launch of its new Tiger 800s in January, Triumph is planning a worldwide adventure tour programme for 2011, incorporating the 800XC.
The five adventure tours, which are being run in cooperation with Edelweiss Bike Travel, range from 11-16 days and feature trips around the UK, Austria, North Africa and Thailand.
"Following the introduction of the new, 'go-everywhere', Tiger 800XC, the obvious next step was the introduction of Triumph Adventure Tours, allowing customers to experience the motorcycle in its natural environment," explains Triumph's director of sales and marketing, Paul Stroud.
Three of the trips will start with an exclusive tour of Triumph's factory before taking riders to the Isle of Man; the Scottish Highlands or on a European tour to Triumph's annual Tridays Festival in Austria
Riders looking go further afield can opt for the Sahara experience in North Africa, or Triumph's Asian adventure in Thailand, which is scheduled for December 2011.
Triumph's adventure tours will be available from June 2011 and include the use of Tiger 800XCs, with the exception of the Tridays Euro tour, which is a bring-your-own-bike affair. For more, see www.triumphmotorcycles.com (http://www.triumphmotorcycles.com)

I can only dream about it right now. Work has me on a really short leash. Otherwise I'd be looking for a plane ticket right now! :cry:
Considering the traffic I've seen in Thailand, I'm not sure I'd want to ride a bike there.

I believe Bangkok is a bit nutty, Phuket itself was very crowded but the local drivers are generally very tolerant, the worst thing is actually all the tourists riding around on scooters a bit pissed who normally only drive cars sober, they are a real danger, I had a set to with one Brit couple who started giving me verbal till I flipped my lid, then they shut up and slunk off. What annoyed me most about that is why give the Thai's shit when you wouldn't do it to me, white skin and cash does not get you automatic respect from me :evil:
