    Congrats on the Tiger 800 XC! I got mine back in May and love it. My New Year's resolution is to ride it much more in 2012.

    Thanks GG, This bike should help me cover a lot of ground to meet you guy's in the middle, for our kind of ridding.:evil

    Thanks Dave, just waiting for the snow to stop and get a little rain to wash the salt off the road:cry (I think I'll order some crash bars today, you just never know when they will come in handy):wink:

    :clap What color? How many miles so far? I'll be looking for you.

    That's tempting Todd but I need another bike like I need another hole in my head:D.

    I was at the Kingsport dealer late last summer to hopefully see one of the new Tiger 800's but all of the sales people were clueless about the Tiger 800. I'm sure they knew all about the metric cruisers though :puke1

    I'll say this, they have a white roadie and an XC, and they told me that Triumph wants you to ride their bikes. They will put you on a test ride so fast that your head will spin.:lol3 Thats would be a good chance for you to try one out.:deal
