Hello to all members Returning to bikes after a twenty years absence, picking up a Tiger 955i next week (little nervous) The last bike I had was a Honda VF100R Rothmans, a real rocket ship for it's day , but I was younger and fitter.
Hi Silver and welcome to the Triumph Asylum - a Tiger 955i eh? Good bike that - you will enjoy. Your name reminded me of a character mentioned in the film "Wild Hogs" - The Golden Knight.
Welcome silver, A biker is a biker is a biker. When, where and what you ride is up to you. No judges here... The 955 engine is a belter. Enjoy pal. Atb Bob
Hi SS, welcome in, I too, like you am a Born again Biker, must of given it up at least 4 times now, every time is 'definitely for good this time!' Its in the blood mate, cant change that.
Big day tomorrow bike arrives; But nervous and exited too My Honda was the VF1000R I think Wayne Gardner raced one briefly and hated it. Quite rare to see now, especially in the Rothmans colourslike mine, still have a photo on the wall.
So did you get it??? Tigers are excellent machines but some do have the odd problem. So if you need any help or advise then get yourself over to Tigertriple...everything you need to sort a Tiger on there
The R was 122 bhp 1984 launched as the fastest road bike ever 163 mph quarter mile 10.4 sec, not very startling by today's standands, very heavy and top heavy and mine had the "chocolate cam shaft failure"
The bike is not coming till Saturday now,problem with bike delivery company, still I'm not missing much with this crapy weather, got some triumph panniers and a givi box with the bike brought them home with me and a bag of brackets got to sort it all out think I have it right. Left and right unlockable pannier connection brackets Left and right bottom bump stop brackets for the panniers A plate for the top box and four brackets for that. I don't think they have ever been on this bike as the bike is spotless and these brackets are a bit rusty in places, I have rubbed the metal parts down and given them a cot of black paint. The top box and colour matched panniers are in good condition.
