Hear the mighty Tiger roar!

Hi Raymo, Yep, I'll be up in Alford on the 3rd. I'm not sure whether to take my Tiger or maybe the old CB750KZ. I MOT'd the old Honda today so might show it as a modern classic, she's 27 this year! Still clean.

I'll see you up there. I've still got your mobile no so I'll txt when I get there mate.

Glad you're all impressed with the Tiger's roar. I'm happy enough with the bike meantime but this new 1050 sounds like it could b the business!

Hi Jim,
just TXT me.. I am hunting out a wheel chair so I can spend some time down there as its a bit tiring on the sticks

Sticks? WTF have you been up to?

I've missed something here, hopefully not bike related?

Hope you make it mate, be good to meet up after the Stella "incident"

Nice Tiger track, must get a digicam and record my RD03 with the naughty filters, not so much the exhaust but the intake roar is phenomenal.

My missus is somewhat unsure about going on the back again, it's been nearly 20 years since she went on the back of mine (a CB750K7), she was really pleased with herself the other day though when she tried on her old red Lewis Leathers jacket and it still fits

Cheers for all comments guys, I never heard about Raymo's off! Hopefully he'll be well soon and as he's said, we'll see him at next year's Stella!

Big difference to the day of the CB mate! I've still got mine, an old CB750KZ, just mot'd it yesterday, flew though, as usual! Wife hates it on the back of it, too much vibration! Funny, I thought it was ok?

The @T she liked the best, either RD04 or 07, I would think the RD03 would be much the same. 20yrs makes a lot of difference as well, you don't tend to ride like a demon with a pillion now in older age! She might like it on a nice day! Top box makes for a nice safe feeling as well, as they don't presume they're going to leave via the back!

I've found a shopping basket so I'm off to make a Rallye headlight guard for my Tiger! I'll post pics when I'm finished!
