Just for a minute I thought I spotted Richard Hammond being winched up that dam in the background. . . . My mistake.

Are you sure he wasn't going back down

I'm just making it up as I go along!! :icon_wink: And I just love that bike! I just wished they'd put a better seat,and brakes on it!! Why did Triumph think the Tiger didn't need the higher spec brakes they put on the rest of the range?

Get your seat rebuilt and change the wheels to 3 spokes, you get a  choice of better brakes then!

I have Girly front discs and braided lines and have never been let down.

Nice colour.

  certainly different. I came across some photos on the Web a few years ago of one done in pearlised white, wonder if it's the same bike.

I've seen some odd colours on Steamers, which just wouldn't work on most other bikes, except maybe the Tenere.
The best yet though must be mud and road salt colour
