Gave the Tiger a good wash & polish today 😂

Couldn't take her out as headstock bearings need some attention.

Just thought I'd share.

As the UK roads were dry and salt free.........I took mine for a 10 mile spin to give all the mechanical parts a work out.

I used to just start it up and run it up to operating temp on the driveway, until someone on one of the Tiger forums mentioned that's why I was getting mayo in the oil over winter.......because the gearbox wasn't getting up to temp as well, and condensation was forming inside the casings. I now run it out on the road every couple of weeks. Still learning after 38 years of riding bikes, and 26 years of riding Tigers  :icon_salut:
Safe Riding.

Regards,
Graeme.

Well we had a bit of a light bulb moment before Christmas decided that we'd had enough of work and that's we are done  :icon_biggrin:

Back at work (some of us have to), but Tiger still in my garage awaiting some more TLC.

Should be back on the road by the weekend, just in time for the outside temp to plummet.

Maybe I'll just turn the garage heating on & sort out the heated grips instead, Hmmm...  :icon_scratch:

Really nice & fresh out there today. only -2oC. Been out to to the garage & there's my Tiger waiting for me. If they'd gritted the roads I might go out, sadly the road outside the house is like a skating rink.

Maybe later when it thaws a little.

When your bike has 125K miles on it and has been through a lot of uk winters without much cleaning, a bit more salt isn't going to affect the value much!

Roads even good enough today to get the old girl out and ended up filtering in 6 miles of motorway traffic what joy  :icon_frown:
