    Checking in.

    Hi guys,

    I have been having a PM chat with kitped over on the RAT forum about tool tubes so I thought I would come over here for a wee look.

    My current bike is an 06 Triumph Tiger (don't worry, they do not bite) so I hope you will make me welcome even though I have never owned a Honda traillie type machine.

    Home for me is in the Scottish Borders and I have been riding bikes for 40 years, that gives my age away a bit! The Tiger has done 23000 miles so that shows I do ride regularly.

    Anyhoo, I will pop in here often and see how you guys are doing.


    Andy.

    Hello and welcome to the site. Don't worry about not having a Honda, as we even let people on here that own BMWs........

    Do you have any pictures of your bike? If not, then best to pop out and take some now, unless it is tipping down of course, as, before long, you be asked for some. Not long now, just you wait and see.........

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    Yep I'm here honey.

    Welcome to the site, very nice to see you. I quite like the Tiger, did even consider getting one but it was just a little too top heavy for a little girlie like me,

    So I bought an Africa Twin instead

    As Lutin quite rightly says there will be demands for pictures of your bike so come on, where are they

    Hope you like it here, we are a great (if a little mad ) bunch

    Welcome to the forum.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    I have just realised that I don't have a recent piccie of the Tiger.

    Here is one taken on a misty morning at the Fort Augustus camp site on 30/9/07. This was taken before the addition of crash bars/highway pegs.
