My new toy/work horse! I'll take some other photos when I pick it up Wednesday.

Details ...
2006 Triumph Tiger 1050
14k miles (just about run in then!)
Touring smoke screen
Baglux tank harness
Braided lines
Radiator/oil cooler protective grills
Additional riding lights for bling
Little triumph stickers + union jack sticker (sorry Ad, these will be removed!)

It has all the typical triumph features such as a gearbox from a windmill, so requires a proper yank to get it into 2nd, and forget about finding neutral. Also some mild corrosion on some bolts, but overall very good condition.

I'll lavish about a grand on it for the full luggage set, heated grips and sat nav, and then it'll be ready to go. Pictures of that setup when I've given Tomor all my remaining money and we've sorted it out.

i require a go.

won't it be strange having a bike that actually works?

V shiny!

Just don't do any maintenance yourself and hopefully this one will stay in one piece!

It is a novelty being able to look at a speedo, I'll give you that. Luckily the horrific gearbox keeps me in a world of imperfection I am accustomed to.

It's not bad. Better than the gixxer, plus better on the balls (no leaning forward crushing them). Might still get the gel seat at some point though. Depends how my bum takes the miles. It's a high milage bum already (innit Gav?)
