Man, I'm seriously liking this old cow! 50 MPG (US gallons) and comfy as hell, and the panniers work great. Perfect for my long ADV (non technical, highway and dirt road) rides. I think I'll use her to finish our aborted Arctic Circle ride, where we had to turn around so close to our goal due to...

Picked up a 2001 Tiger a few weeks ago, with less than 12K miles (20K kms) on her. Still looks spotless. Nice bike. It has the K&N filter (previous owner) and the Triumph aftermarket pipe fitted, and has a bit of a flat-spot at light cruise and maybe 70-80 km/h. I think I'm going to fit a stock...

Guys TomTom owners may not be aware of the great utility called "Eventlogger" https://web.tiscali.it/macri/Event_Logger/ It provides a fully configurable GPS Tracking functionality which I find incredibly useful for geotagging photos autmoatically, using GeoSetter. The Eventlogger can be...

My RR on our 2008 trip from our home near Detroit, Michigan, USA to the Arctic Ocean. Didn't make the final push to Inuvik, as the rains took out the Dempster dirt road with a major mudslide, so we had to turn back only a couple of hundred miles from the Arctic Circle. We will be back. Warning...
