Hi all, think this is the place for this if not please feel free to move me. Just signed up to the forum and thought it was only right to introduce myself. I've been biking about five years now, passing my test just over three years ago bought a Triumph Tiger xc which i'm really happy with, moved down to Cornwall about a year ago new start, new job ect best thing I ever did, really recommend it if your stuck in a job you dislike or fancy a move it's easier than you think.

Anyway back to bikes, can't read enough or watch enough bike based articles or Youtube clips havn't done much riding this year as the bike had to stay in quarantine back in Shropshire while our house was sorted out looking forward to getting back on him shortly.

Ideal ride for me is site seeing not much of a racer, but looking to take my advanced bike test this year anything to improve my riding.

That's it really! Very Happy

Many thanks for the welcome!

Only got my bike back from quarantine in April last year, and moved house, changed job three times with short un-employed periods so havn't done much biking since I got here, did manage the Martin Jennings motorcycle run though. I do intend to attend one of the Mc Donalds mid week meets. Like to take the Tiger to Fowey at some stage and round the many lanes and coves.

Regarding the Tiger I havn't got alot of experience of many bikes but very happy with it, no plans to upgrade to the new one though. May add a noisier exhaust at some time.

Ref. pictures of the missus try reddit r/on off lol
