    Hi everyone, another new triumph owner here, I have a 2015 tiger 800 Xrx. I bought this in September 2016 after getting bored of my 06 Zx10r (which was a spontaneous purchase! ) I'm looking forward to learning and fault finding with all of you! IMG_20170117_104112.jpg

    Hi and welcome to the forum.
    You passed the first test by posting a picture! Very nice.
    Not a stock exhaust I see!

    The exhaust was purchased in the same manner as the previous bike, with little thought! I'm 21 so there's still something appealing about a bit of noise, the standard is going back on soon as my brother wants to buy the muffler for his crf250

    I started when I was 16 using a moped my dad bought for my brother which he didn't want, nearly 6 years, 7 bikes and about 70,000 miles later the Tiger didn't take much convincing! I have finally got around to getting my car license aswell!

    Hi Andy,
    Nice bike, had a previous Tiger 800 for 5 years and loved it although I never managed to make the side boxes touch down, in my dreams.

    Welcome aboard Andy. Good buy.

    Fault finding? You do realise you've bought a Triumph and not a BMW don't you ;)
