I just lead a ride around Northern Arizona, take a look at
http://motorcycles.lyster.com/trips/...ide/Index.html to see what we did. The other riders were on BMW's, Kawasakis, HD's, and Hondas. Since I was the local boy and navigator, I headed up the pack! By the second day, the other riders were like Pavlov's dogs, the sound of a 3 cylinder Tiger starting caused them to put helmets on, jerk on the gloves and hop on their bikes! At every stop, somebody started a conversation with, ....in '68 I had this Triumph......
I think they all saw that the Tiger can hold its own, and do lots better than the others on dirt. They also learned that a GPS on the res isn't as good as a good local guide!
