The more I ride it...

.. the more I like it..   :D

just thought I'd 'share' as its a bit quiet in here..   :D

I've been making the most of the decent weather this week and have been out on the Tiger each of the last 3 days..   8)  removing the screen improved things no end for me..

on a more serious note, this week I've also bought my first 'decent' helmet - I got a very good deal on an Arai Quantum at my local bike shop.. I have to say I cant believe the difference  having used '£50' flip-ups for the last few years .. its quieter, better all round vision and feels like it weighs hardly anything..  still getting used to the 'double D' ring and today in the petrol station I instinctively went to flip up the front  :)

Good to hear that, still giggle every time it makes that Ting Tong Tang noise on the overrun like an empty beer can fell out of your backpack  :lol:

Looking forward to getting my paperwork sorted out :roll:
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

Good to hear Neil.
Haven't been out on mine for months now. Just haven't found the excuse or anywhere to go really. Every day with decent weather has been wrecked by having to go to work.

Am I the only one thinking 'Dark Knight'?

Definitely has a 'Batman' look about it to me  :roll:

I always thought you were a bit batty Bob  :lol:

It does look cool, be nice to see it in the flesh, and interested to hear how you find the ride with that Neil.

Wonder if they adjusted the tinkle with the later maps as it was definitely prominent.

being out there in the Fens 'BB', it does strange things to a mans mind   :D seen any big black cats yet?  :P

yes Sin I'm looking forward to see whats its like to ride with, as long as  it doesnt make it any worse then I'll be happy with the cosmetic benefits  :)

blacktiger

I'd certainly be interested in a photo run through of what's needed and how it's done.
Whaderyamean you didn't take any photos when you were fixing it on!!!! :roll:
