Hello from Portland, OR

Hi all. I recently rode a speed triple for the past few years. I've been around here for a while but lost my old log-in info and email. Right now, I'm trying to decide between the new Tiger 800xc, wait for the new Tiger 1200, or buy a bike I have always wanted...a Moto Guzzi Griso. Then again, I love those Triumphs....

Welcome Ryan! Tough call. I've yearned for a Griso but think I'd stick with Triumph because of its reliability. Just my 2 cents...

Thanks. I'm looking for that elusive combo of sport, comfort and touring, but I want to keep the bike as naked as possible. And adventure tourers tend to be too tall for me around town. Decisions, decisions....Ryan

Anold newbie joins the site!

Hi
I'm a British ex pat living just outside Toronto, Canada.
Just bought my new Srambler, having sold my Suzuki M50. Looking to get off road a bit this year.
My last Triumph was a prehistoric Tiger Cub. Looked great and sounded great, but was prone to 'marking its' territory'!
Hope this one doesn't!!
