    Hi!

    I recently (that is, 2 days ago!) bought my very first Triumph ever, a '18 Tiger 800 XCx, just because I was blown away by the smoothness of the ride, coming from (amongst others), a KTM 990 Adventure. I'm very impressed by this piece of high-tech machinery easily purring away miles after miles (or, if you like, kilometer after kilometer).
    Still need to do some customising (being 2 meters tall) to give it a nice fit, but I don't expect any problems there seeing the wealth of information all you people provide to this and other Triumphs forums.

    Keep up the good works!

    Thanks,
    Gleekzorp.

    Welcome to the Family. Seems you are quite intelligent as you know a quality machine when you see it. We will want a picture of the Steed soon. Then you can join us here in the Asylum with Nursey.
    Ride Safe & Enjoy.
    Joe.

  3. Welcome in mate. One of the most comfortable bikes I've ridden, the Tiger 800. Good luck modifying to your height. Just remember to knock the snow off your head before you put your helmet on! :p :)

    Those GPS thingies can’t be tricky to use... Hopefully you’ll find you way out of Leeds soon. It doesn’t matter where - anywhere’s better right!?!
