Three today !
« on: November 28, 2023, 16:57:36 »
Yes, my Tigger is three years old today. I know that's not a long time for some of you to own a bike, but it's the second longest I've owned one - and this is number 59... If it lasts until the end of February it will have surpassed my Moto Guzzi Stelvio as the longest I've owned a bike. Just under 12,000 miles, only one issue - it needed a new rear shock, all covered under warranty and a known issue due to a duff batch of seals at the WP factory. However, it's never left me at the roadside. Happy birthday tigger  :obscene-drinkingchug:

Many happy returns.

Is that the cafe just outside Alston?
To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

Cheers, I can't remember the last time I kept one long enough to pay off ! I rthink it may have been my Africa Twin way back in 1997 ?
