The more I ride it...

[NeilD]

.. the more I like it..   :D

just thought I'd 'share' as its a bit quiet in here..   :D

I've been making the most of the decent weather this week and have been out on the Tiger each of the last 3 days..   8)  removing the screen improved things no end for me..

on a more serious note, this week I've also bought my first 'decent' helmet - I got a very good deal on an Arai Quantum at my local bike shop.. I have to say I cant believe the difference  having used '£50' flip-ups for the last few years .. its quieter, better all round vision and feels like it weighs hardly anything..  still getting used to the 'double D' ring and today in the petrol station I instinctively went to flip up the front  :)

Good to hear that, still giggle every time it makes that Ting Tong Tang noise on the overrun like an empty beer can fell out of your backpack  :lol:

Looking forward to getting my paperwork sorted out :roll:

[blacktiger]

Good to hear Neil.
Haven't been out on mine for months now. Just haven't found the excuse or anywhere to go really. Every day with decent weather has been wrecked by having to go to work.

[Sin_Tiger]

I know that feeling, excuses I am not usually short of though

now with added Ventura rack..  :)

That nose thingy looks good Neil.
Too cold? Too right but I had booked mine in for its 12K service yesterday. 'kin 'ell!!! Minus what???? Thank god for heated jacket liners.

still giggle every time it makes that Ting Tong Tang noise on the overrun

You know? I didn't hear any of that on my way home yesterday. Wonder of they adjusted something.

Am I the only one thinking 'Dark Knight'?

[blacktiger]

Yes.

[Bixxer Bob]

Definitely has a 'Batman' look about it to me  :roll:

[Sin_Tiger]

I always thought you were a bit batty Bob  :lol:

It does look cool, be nice to see it in the flesh, and interested to hear how you find the ride with that Neil.

Wonder if they adjusted the tinkle with the later maps as it was definitely prominent.

[NeilD]

being out there in the Fens 'BB', it does strange things to a mans mind   :D seen any big black cats yet?  :P

yes Sin I'm looking forward to see whats its like to ride with, as long as  it doesnt make it any worse then I'll be happy with the cosmetic benefits  :)

[blacktiger]

I'd certainly be interested in a photo run through of what's needed and how it's done.
Whaderyamean you didn't take any photos when you were fixing it on!!!! :roll:

[NeilD]

will do..I took a couple, but will take some more as its got to come off again before final fit -  I just want to tidy up edges of bits I cut away etc and ran out of time yesterday..

[blacktiger]

Cheers Neil.
