Must be strong.....avoid Orange Tiger

Was down at dealer this morning having the 500 mile check done on my America. Sitting on the showroom floor is a 08 Blaze Orange Tiger. Good grief that's a nice looking bike. Tried to fight the urge but had to sit on it and was smitten. Dang, the wife will never go for this. Told the sales manager it was a plot to have it on the floor when I came down this moning.

Will have to avoid the shop for a couple of weeks to get over this.

Better go out and ride my 06 Tiger to help ease the pain.

Yeah, those are nasty looking bikes that want to go fast.
I been tryin' to get the missus to get a Street Triple cause it's so "small" and "light".
I would never think about riding her bike.

It is even worse here in Omaha! My dealer has a 08 Blaze Orange Tiger demo that they use as a loaner bike. So whenever they are going to have my Bonnie in the shop for more than an hour or two they force me to ride that thing!

ABS brakes, big smooth power, great factory suspension, fuel injection, trip computer - even decent sound from the stock pipes. It is torture I tell ya!

Seriously, I am very impressed with it. If I was in the market for another motorcycle it would be on my short list.

A 500 mile check on your America. Now you want an Orange Tiger - You must be fickle, don't you know you can only ride one bike at a time

Experts agree that you can have too many bikes. The same experts agree that no one knows how many bikes is "too many".
