    Hi All
    Just joined the forum after lurking for a while. Currently riding a recently acquired Tiger 800XRX. I spent the summer test riding Triumphs - all the twins and the Tiger 800. Absolutely loved the Twins especially the Scrambler but opted for the better weather protection of the Tiger as well as its ability over long tours. I can see a twin in my future though!

    Ok, so it is dreich, but I like to wind up the Southerners. :p

    You are right. Gatehouse to Laurieston road. One of my favourite circuits Dfs, Coast road to Dalbeattie, Kirkcudbright, Gatehouse Laurieston and home. The other is East via the tail burn.
