    Hi,

    My name's Dom, been riding for 20 years on and off but only recently joined the Triumph club, I know I know how could it have taken me so long! I bought myself an ageing but still beautiful Tiger 955i, in honour of my other cat she is called Tilly.

    I'll be taking it over to the Isle of Mann for a rally moto in September, not quite full offroad but hopefully will be exciting enough as I've never really ridden anything so big off of tarmac.

    Do need to get some sort of luggage for it, any tips for a cheap pannier rack greatly appreciated.

    Ta. It is designed for the biggies and is apparently do-able on road tyres (I'm taking hybrids) so should be good fun. I'm expecting gravel, mud, stones, and maybe a bit of water but hopefully no trials type stuff. They are navigation based events rather than races so I hope I won't embarrass myself.
