Tiger 800's (2010 - 2020 Tigers) / Re: Talyn's Diary
Last post by London_Phil - December 20, 2024, 09:11:11 AMSpace, pace and grace.....and a heater.....
I'm currently treating the rust around the top of the Saab windscreen so I can try to reseal it, as it leaks like a seive where the screen appears to be a poorly fitted replacement at some point....
Hoping to get the new garage ready to get the bikes down to the south coast before spring..
Happy Christmas all..

Last post by Lee337 - December 19, 2024, 11:54:34 PMSupposed to be taking the bike down to Mrs L's sisters for Xmas. Taking separate vehicles as I need toco.e back early. 120 miles each way.
At least that was the idea, but may take the Jaaag instead.

Tiger 800's (2010 - 2020 Tigers) / Re: Talyn's Diary
Last post by ghulst - December 19, 2024, 10:55:25 PMI only have heated, but wired, gloves. And a set of heated insoles for my boots. And that is it. I have run a bike at -2C without them, but that was very uncomfortable. I would like to upgrade at some point, but when I am honest, I hardly ever ride in worse weather these days. When it is raining or cold, it is just too easy to grab one of the cars. :)

Tiger 800's (2010 - 2020 Tigers) / Re: Talyn's Diary
Last post by Lee337 - December 14, 2024, 05:53:31 PMI have heated gloves , a heated seat pad for when it gets really cold, but to be fair, the last time I was out in near zero temperatures I found the liners in my kit enough to keep me warm.
That was last year on a blood run - it's what prompted me to buy heated gloves. Heated grips are ok, but don't keep fingers warm.
Having said that, a heated vest of some kind is on my list for the January sales.

Tiger 800's (2010 - 2020 Tigers) / Re: Talyn's Diary
Last post by London_Phil - December 14, 2024, 05:33:56 PMHeated clothes are a gamechanger..After a trip in Feb a few years to meet with the guys, I layered up and went out like a Michelin man, swaeting heavily.. but was very cold when I arrived a few hours later.. On the way home my core temp had fallen, and I was shivering. I realised as I approached the last few miles that I was making stupid mistakes riding due to concentration lapses. I treated myself to a heated vest, and it really is amazing, as even when not so cold, less layers are needed, and its very much more comfy. Once you have lost your heat, it is very difficult to generate it again, so once lost it just gets worse.
Genuinly impressed at the difference it has made.

Tiger 800's (2010 - 2020 Tigers) / Re: Talyn's Diary
Last post by Lee337 - December 14, 2024, 01:59:45 PMIt was a cold day in North Lincolnshire with teh weather station telling me it was 4.5oC. 08:45 in the morning and I find myself putting on my bike kit for the ride to the MOT station a mere 5 miles south.
Firstly, I found out I'd put on a bit of weight over the prtevious months and my Alpinestars Andes pants didn't fit quite as well as they used to - breathe in and they jusyt about did up.
Next up, heading down the road, directly into a low morning sun was challenging to say the least. Talyn J felt a little wobbly which I put down to me, not Talyn J. I'd checked her over on Friday to ensure all was well & she was ready for her annual (official) inspection and it was with baited breath I rolled her into the test centre.
25 minutes later I ride out again on the loooooooong trip back home via a local coffee shop.
Turned out nice again if still a little cold.
And yes, she did pass.

General Discussions / Re: Daily smile thread
Last post by Lee337 - December 12, 2024, 08:24:19 PMAfter stopping a mugger and protecting his girlfriend, a Marine reflected on his actions and decided the criminal deserved an apology.
To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.
I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.
First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason. My girlfriend was happy that I just returned safely from my 2nd tour as a Combat Marine in Afghanistan. She had just bought me that Kimber Custom Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously, you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ... isn't it?!
I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with crap in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].
After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station — on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 153 gallons and was extremely grateful!
I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]
I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ..... after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.
Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target.
The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).
In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you ... but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime.
I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky.

Last post by fishnbiker - December 06, 2024, 01:46:19 AMFishnbiker here on Vancouver Island, left side of the map. Got my 1995 with 18,xxx km on it early 1997. Now has 132,xxx + km with over half that on gravel roads.The first photo had me almost riding over a pile of Black Bear poop, as though that would make any difference to the dirt level of my "FELIX".
