"The Mistress No More"

[HansO]

Man Hanso I too have been thinking about the Tiger 800 for a while now. So many places we go have roads the Rocket can't travel on safely. Well that and we know I'm old and scrawny

I have been wanting a dirt bike for a while so I can scout/explore hunting places

The new triumph street scrambler is pretty nice looking bike, 900cc

I'd think that you would have enough of off road motorcycle adventures for a while.

Oh no -- you gotta get back in that saddle and RIDE !

Ya ever since I raised Black Angus hunting has not been in my thoughts. But the rest of that explore stuff would be nice. I was just up scoping the area out where the RAA will be and accidently had to ride the Rocket on a non-paved road. Would have been great on a 800 Tiger twisties on gravel

pretty much what the Dr said once swelling goes down, which it should be by Wednesday they will then remove this very heavy hanging cast of and replace it with a Clam type cast which should hold things in place while bones knit the break is like a Z shape
Pretty much what I experienced except I had the larger clear view screen, it came from left and luckily there was nothing coming the other way as I crossed over to the other side of road all the while fighting the tankslapper
unfortunately that will be quite a while but I will still be able to teach and coach PCYC and at my local Club

Who would have guessed! - I'm also a PCYC archery coach and Archery Australia instructor... Or more correctly I was until 2 weeks ago. The PCYC gig was robbing too much family time and after 5 years of voluntary service to PCYC my family had to come first. Tried to get my son into the sport but he lost interest shortly after I bought him a Hoytt rig. Myself, I'm a Uukha / Angel guy through and through - but don't shoot enough now to justify keeping my gear.

Man hanso I to have been thinking the tiger 800 for a while now. Do many places we go have roads the rocket can't travel on safely. Well that and we know I'm old and scrawny

depending on whether its written off, which I suspect it will be and how long I am of work I will more than likely get something smaller and lighter like a Tiger 800 XCx which I was hoping to get once I got my debt under control, if that does happen there will be some Rocket spares up for sale as I have heaps of service spares a parts but first I will have get back to work as I might end up having to live of that insurance money once I exhaust all my Leave options at work but we will cross that bridge when we get there, weird as it seems even thou I am now in a more comfortable cast I only slept about 2 hours last night ...... geeez the things that go thru your mind when you are laying not sleeping

That would be my choice for a second bike for sure.

WOW M8s?!
I spent two daty riding an 800 Tiger around Missoula, Montana.
While it was a smooth semi- comfy ride, I found it woefully under powered.
Look at the new Honda 1200X. My bro, Dan has one and it's a bonzer!

 

[Joesmoe]

Why wouldn't you suggest the Explorer (1,251 cc) ?

Don't under rate the big girl in the dirt.
I recently crossed a 50k section of dirt logging roads with a bunch of other bikes on a road run.
The torque and low cofg put me way ahead of a few less confident riders on discovery bikes.
140k and power slides on loose gravel opened a few eyes
Who needs a dirt bike when you have an R3
