Hello from New Zealand

[Kiwi Tiger]

I'm new to this forum and thought I would introduce myself after lurking for several months.

I'm on the up side of 50 and 9 months ago bought a 06 silver Tiger which as I understand is the Brit Spec bike with the spedo in miles.  I bought it for the riding position as it's compatible with my body that every now and again lets me know I'm not 18 anymore.  The mind is willing alas the body is a few steps behind now and again.   I have 7500 miles up on this bike and as I ride it I am more and more impressed with it.  I have cut the screen down to a curve above the cockpit after trying several screens with no noticeable improvement.   Fitted a center stand, and heated grips, road tyres,  and a Scott- oiler.  I have owned and ridden a few bikes for the last 37 years and enjoying this Silver Tiger very much.

Welcome Home
this is the greatest motorcycle ever made no matter what version of it you have  !
 You will find Big G did a windshield mod that worked very well to his liking . do a search for his posts and it will come up .

Great to have you aboard!!  I love my Silver 06 and continue to find more and more reasons to love it.  I look forward to hearing more from you.

Happy riding!

Welcome

You have made 2 right choices:

1. Buying a Tiger

2. Buying the best color (Silver)

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Mustang.  Thanks for the tip on the screen and I do think this bike is up there with some of the best for sure.

Silverstripes.  I guess I just got lucky with this one.  I may just ride this until I progress back to a trike like when I was 3 years old, ha ha.  That way I can ride until I ride off into the sunset for the last time.

Tsnyder.  WanganuI  North Island, N.Z.

Tigertrax.  Yup.  Speedy Kiwi for my  Speedmaster ( sold as it was fun to ride but it wrecked my back) and Kiwi Tiger.  

Stretch.  You genius.  I read your advice and how to's etc.  Thanks very much.

Hello Kiwi Tiger, we have a blue 06 (British spec) Tiger and live in the middle of the South Island. (Great Tiger territory)

After more than half a century riding bikes Mrs oldrider and I think the Tiger is the most comfortable bike we have owned.

Welcome to TigerTriple.com. Cheers John.

Mrs Kiwi Tiger will agree with yours Oldrider.
She also says it is really comfortable.
I was down your way after  the Reefton rally last year.
We had great riding with clear skys  most of the time.
2010 were coming for 2 weeks for the Sth rally ( T.O.M.C.C.) and  hope to explore around the Catlins and come back up criss- crossing the passes.
Overnighting at the Blackball and Makaroa are all ready on the list.

Welcome to the forum kiwi Tiger.

You might try to get hold of the "sports screen" for yours. I've found it to work better than any other screen I've tried (quite a few) it looks great and works great.

I haven't tried a sport screen but my hacksaw seemed to do the trick on the stock screen!  :shock:
