Bathing Tiger

[Perfal]

Hi,

Last weekend I took a ride here in France with some buddies on Transalps and Africas. This was in Ardeche, a great place somewhere in the middle of France, with tons of corners and miles of authorized trails.

The peak of the weekend was reached during the off-road part, when my Tiger suddenly decided to take both of us to a good muddy bath. Fortunately, though I hadn't planned anything like this and thus hadn't taken my swimsuit, the water was rather warm and the place was nice. So great time :


I must say that I had the good reflex of shutting down the engine while falling, which probably saved me some problems. The fact is that the bike immediatly started on demand.

You can appreciate some more pics and videos here :

Not a good thing. Wet pants tend to chaff. Good thing doesn't take long to dry out while riding!  :D  

 Enjoy seeing riders with passion, Loving every minute!

Tigers are said to be good swimmers, aren't they?
Personally, I adore the man, who invented asphalt...
