    Currently riding a '16 Tiger XCA but following a recent test ride on a Speed R I've been bitten and soon to be ordering!

    Planning to still do some light touring in the summer, picos / Pyrenees. Will be looking for luggage advice on here.

    Hope to be an active member, work permitting!

    Thank you, I'm afraid not due to lack of monies. She'll be sorely missed, what a fantastic bike!

    Purely the adrenaline buzz and excitement of that speedy that has sold it!

    I know the feeling, I wish I had been able to keep all the bikes I've owned but normal folks can't I'm afraid.

    Well after a short delay and still awaiting some accessories to be fitted (booked in for first service) she's finally home!

    Oh my goodness the running in is a pain in the @***! I'm sticking to it strictly due to OCD/Paranoia about wrecking the internals!

    I've done 180 joyous and marvellous miles! I've not missed the tiger yet!

    Popped down to Poole Bike Night last Tuesday, lots of people stopping to have a look!
