Just taken mate to Triumph dealer and he is going to change his GS for a tiger! What a result... Off to stretch the Tigers legs on a wee trip from Birmingham to the Isle of Wight this weekend - sod the cold snap! It'll give his bike a last trip before he finds out what a proper bike is really like.. :-D I think the heated grips might get a bit of use though..

Yep, sunshine and blues skies up here too! Finally got to screw on the 06 plate and hit the road with Blue. Didn't feel the cold at all, but man I hate running new bikes in !

Thats a bit harsh old bean; perhaps they redeem themselves when converted to Tigers - I think so anyway. We can all make mistakes after all.. :razz:
