    Hi folks,

    Just dropping in to say Hi from Kent, UK.

    I'm getting back to biking after about 7y without a bike. Previously had two BMW R1200 GS Adventures because of my 6'7" height, and you can make those bikes seriously tall. I nearly went for a third one but fancied trying something a bit different this time.

    Unfortunately I find most of the Triumph range too small/low for me, but I sat on the Tiger 1200 and the Scrambler 1200 XE and the riding position was pretty close to the GS, so I put an order in for one of the Scrambler 1200 XE Steve McQueen editions (which I think look amazing). Hoping to pick it up in 2-4 weeks.

    Just hoping I can remember how to ride.

    Looking forward to joining the forum banter, and maybe a few rides.

    All the best,

    LankyRider (Charlie)
