Introducing my new 2012 Triumph Tiger Explorer

[drinkingmymilk]

Wait till next year... (And no, that wasn't meant to be coy or speculative. They have a Trophy 1200 coming out based on the same engine as the Tiger Explorer.)

I saw that, looks awesome if it was just me touring I'd be in line to test ride it. However the goal is a cross country tour with the wife. A goldwing can not be beat in that setting.

Congrats.......Translab it

Kenn rocked that thing yesterday! Seemed quite comfortable! As for the Translab, I could see that bringing him to tears. He'd ride a day, then clean a day...only to do it all over again! It took me 8 hours to clean mine when I got back and even then Kyle spend another two hours cleaning shit I couldn't see....!!!

Plan on traveling with 5 midgets?

LOL!!!

Now that's not a bad idea! They'd come in quite handy on the ride to Newfoundland this July with DucDave and a few others! Can't wait!

The soft bag was not part of the launch package. You don't crawl into it you climb into it. I guess its your outlook on life. Half empty or half full. Crawl or climb

Its so smooth and it handles like its a lighter bike. You see a corner and its doing it. Heated grips are wonderful. Heated seat is wonderful, cruise control... The list goes on.

you bought it just to keep your balls warm didn't you?

Except maybe a BMW K1600GTL. You might want to give that a testride.

Congrats Ken.
You had trouble deciding which bike to take on previous rides... you are going to have some real problems now having to pick one of the three!

Hands too, apparently. Word has it that for some guys those two things have to work together.

I know Mike! There are a couple of boys I know who would be more then happy to take one. Out for me.

I'd be keen to give your SP3 a little exercise sometime!
