My 95 TB has a new baby sister - a white 07 Tiger 1050 ABS delivered last night to her eager parent. Ok, I won't extend the metaphor anymore than that. I rode her home last night from Eurosport in Fort Worth - she feels great but the running-in period is a PITA. I taking her to the NTNOA club meet today so I hope to put a few more miles on her.

I've ordered a shed-load of extras - full luggage with liners, tankbag, TOR, heated grips, centrestand, manual, aux power socket, GPS connector and I hope they will be available by the 500 mile service. I decided to see if I like the stock saddle first before looking at gel.

I'm thinking about getting that Skidmarkx hugger since it deals with chain fling better (or so I've heard) but I have yet to see a good picture of it fitted.

I've been on this site for a few years but mostly in the Hinckley forum - so just thought I would say hello.

Jerry - it's been a while! We need to hook up at a RAT Raid again.

Max - cheers mate! My Uncle Eddie & Edna live in Ainsdale and a long time ago - I lived in Kirkham and went to school in Blackpool. Your local roads are so much better than mine (well - apart from the bloody A59!) but at least it hardly ever rains here.

Chris, as soon as we get one that's handy for both of us. We'll get together at a Rat Raid and toss back a couple of pints.

Chris,
Welcome and congrats on the new Tiger! Let me know how you like the TOR. That's the one extra I've been wondering if I should have purchased. I got all you have except the heated grips. Oh, and I added the SW-Motech crash bars as I'm apt to step in a hole and topple over.

And I know what you mean about the break in period. But I have a feeling it won't last long! You'll have the miles on her before you know it.

Ride safe and enjoy!
