Thought I'd say Hi, lurked on here often enough and realised I did register at some stage.

Anyway, what prompted me to post was the fact that I did the Welsh National Rally yesterday with my son.
Prior to this I had it in mind to maybe change my Tiger, an '06, for something different...but not any more.
The Tiger performed really well, two up with luggage on all kinds of roads.
We had most of the seasons in one day as well.

Shame I saw only one other Tiger doing the rally, looked like an 885 Girly.

:D

Cheers,
IJ

I'm short on pics as it happens, something I must work on.



Taken three years ago when the bike was new, it's not quite as shiney now but has been ridden not hidden.
I've added crash bars, headlight grill and plenty of scuffs and scratches.

The Welsh National Rally is a scatter rally organised by Clive MCC, bit like a treasure hunt on bikes with manned and unmanned checkpoints.
Have a look here, go to members and touring and you'll see it listed.

It's my mates report from last year, this was my first year and not my last.

Welcome aboard, the road rally's are good fun. I did the English National a couple of years back on my Tiger. Hope to do it again this year if I get time.

Well you missed me and my mate Phil. Both on Girlies. We did a Gold and Dragon.
I also saw a silver Girly in the carpark.
You're right not to change that Tiger. It's one of the best there is for doing this type of thing. e.g. I did the "Scottish" distance award last year, covering 622 miles in 12&1/2 hours.
Truely the best bike Triumph has ever made.
2013 800XC 33000 miles & counting.

You'll have a great time I'm sure.

Good to hear there was a few more of us then.
We did the Gold and Dragon as well, great fun.
