Title: It's been fun
Post by: coastalconnie on December 31, 2014, 10:58:16 PM

Enjoyed seven reliable years with my C14 but knee issues and wanting something a little more versatile has me riding a new Triumph Tiger Explorer. Thanks for all the great info and advise through the years friends.

Hang around around let us know how the Tiger is. Thinking about one myself in a couple years.

Congrats on the Tiger. Good looking motorcycle. I was just reading about them in one of the Bike Mags I get. They are tempting. If and when I do change bikes I will very likely go in the same direction you just did.

Congrats.  I used to sell them and they are quality.  Had a Tiger 1050, and the 1200 is a much better ride.  Is that a 14? Enjoy, sir.  tomp

  Well, how do you like the Tiger?  Had a 1050, but thought it could be better.  Is the 1200 the answer to the perfect ADV ride?

Inline 3.....much much more fun. ;)  Those are great bikes and hear good things, and I too am looking forward to a ride report if the OP sticks around at all. Triumph really stands behind their products, and they make great machines.
