Title: Parts And Such
Post by: jphish on December 10, 2009, 02:14:18 AM
New 06 Tiger owner - Where is the best place (your favorite) to access parts domestically for the Tiger. Can be store front, with web option, or just on line business. Thanks, j

What are you looking for?  Touratech has lots of stuff.  Pricey, but good stuff.

Yeah - as soon as the oil goes from a solid to a liquid - I'm game for a ride. Looking forward to the Tiger convention in Sept - I guess it's here - just don't know where or exactly when. At the moment I'm going to only add heated grips and crash bars to protect the tank. Is there a prefered crash bar brand? (HB,Touratech,Triumph) Or are they all pretty much the same?  So many motorcycles...so little time. Thanks Guys. j

Touratechs 2 lbs of bent tubing - $338 !  But unfortunatly seems to flow better with the Tiger lines. Their stuff is good quality - and I like quality - just hate payin for it.  :(

They solve a lot of other problems too.... where to mount the farkles (lights, Stebel Nautilus air horn etc etc)

Yeah - it does provide a nice platform for farkles. Oh well, its only money & declining in value - may as well buy something with it. j

I don't think our Transatlantic cousins will understand that one (even if correctly spelt!!!) - a picture would have helped: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep-fried_Mars_Bar

Thanks for the 'translation' - I don't generally fry candy in fat. Kinda like soaking rat poison in strychnine. As for lexicon - 2 countries separated by a common language (Churchill?) comes to mind. Hey, Thanks for the 'crash bar' link. North Dakota, @ -20* F ain't exactly the bike capital of the US - go figure. I'll see if they're still in bidness'. Are any of our GB kuzzins coming to the Sept Tiger convention in Wa ?  Petrol's a bit cheaper here. j

Well spotted Ian, I should not be amaazed that there is that amount of detail on Wiki but I still am  :shock:

Quoteany of our GB kuzzins coming to the Sept Tiger convention in Wa ?

I'm probably not the only one wishing  :wink:

You are not the only one wishing, I'm sure!!!!

Have you ever eaten a deep fried mars bar?  Really?  Every time I have been to Scotland I've been unable to find one.  

I was beginning to think it was an urban myth....

on the last series of The Hary Bikers' they visited the chipshop that allegedly made the first one..  :) I think it was Aberdeenshire somewhere..

It's no myth, if it doesn't move deep fry it  :lol:

When I was at college in the 70's I used to survive on chip shop food. On the road home one night I popped in to the local looking for something different. I had been through the menu (everything deep fried) several times, fish (various), Scotch pie, steak pie, black pud, white pud, haggis, ribs, burgers, fritters etc. when I spotted a cheese tomato and onion Pizza sitting in the glass cabinet. Pizza's were still a bit of a novelty in Scotland in those days and I fancied it so I ordered it expecting to just get it handed to me straight out of the hot cabinet  :)

To my horror the large lady behind the counter shouted to her assistant handling the packing of chips "Waan Peetza supper, nae salt n vinegar" and promptly dumped the lovely cheesy comestible straight into the frier  :shock:  Nooooo  :(

Brilliant.  Bath could do with some of that logic.  One sicilian red pesto and fresh goats cheese panini and a frappacino?

Bosh, straight in the fryer.  :shock:
