Triumph have some more information on the new 800 and 1200 on their website too - http://www.triumphmotorcycles.co.uk/motorcycles/adventure-and-touring/tiger/2018/1200?from=HPR
I absolutely love the look of the headlights with the running lights on.

Oh aspirational marketing. I know I'm always pulling my bike up onto the pavement at the Walt Disney Concert Hall and waiting for my fashion-model lady friend to finish her work.
You mean you're not?
I know when I had a hipster Bonneville I was always going to cool secret gin bars with my hipster friends then onto a conveniently deserted beach for an impromptu party. Though saying that I was clean shaven before I started riding and now I have a beard, hmm..
I was showing the Tiger page to my wife and she commented "the ladies all look like they stepped out of the salon and the guys cant seem to find where they put their shavers."
Back to bikes, enjoying the 44T Budget Bike series so far, thanks for the link. "What would make a fishy smell?" The push start. "My clutch has gone." Good fun.
Yes, it's fantastic. Those challenges are what I enjoyed most about Top Gear. Hope 44t will do this type of thing more often.
I do love the Tracer 900. I wonder how much the GT will cost, the standard bike is £9000 here (was £8k, thank you currency markets)
Check out the new Honda CB1000. I complained for years that the old one was a bit pedestrian in the looks department, this certainly looks more unique
Yeah, I think their new CB line really nails it in terms of looks.
Sold my bike (Daytona 675) after not riding it for a year and a half due to not having time because of school and work. Getting that itch to ride again now that school is almost finished, thinking of taking an MSF course again as a refresher. I think I want a Street Triple or a Bonneville......not sure which.
Hey guys. Newbie follow up part I fucked up:
Beautiful trip close home in some really goaty roads. Travelled fort hours, weather was great, until I came to a turn and lost control of my rear wheel. Not sure if I braked too hard or there was gravel and lost it. Sad part was I locked the front brakes in panic and high sided the fuck out of the bike. I wasnt going too fast and the car coming from the other way was able to stop and it was kinda transited so people came to help.
Damage to my bike seems mostly cosmetic but it was just transported today. Damage to me was pretty bad since I landed directly on my shoulder. Broken left collarbone and wrist. Not too painful but annoying as fuck. I'm cool, but the "told you so's" are happening, Some regret on my part. My family might be too worried for me to stay on the saddle. THE STATS ARE REAL.

You should try to learn what happened so you can move on. It'll help give you closure and help you not make the same mistake again. Let us know how things work out for you. I'd be sad if you decide not to ride anymore but I would understand.
In an awkward place where it's very cold to ride, I'm super busy at work, and two of my bikes need state inspection before the season closes. Haven't rode since those last photos, getting itchy.
Sorry to hear about the high-side Ocho. What sort of gloves were you wearing and how did you land on your wrist? If it's any consolation, my brother broke his collar bone eight times growing up and never got near a motorcycle...

We had two guys and a woman with a pram try and steal one of the guys bikes at lunchtime yesterday. They kicked the handlebar lock and broke the pin off. This set off the disk lock alarm. All of them then walked off. This was all caught on CCTV as its a private carpark in the middle of Reading opposite the police station.
Now today I am at the office with my bike and I am now looking for a disk lock or I have been reading about throttle locks. Any suggestion

Max is back, yes! Now this place feels more like the old days
State inspection, should I take care of that before it is too late? Mine is due Jan/2018. Who knows if January will be rideable.
What if you drive through a swarm of bugs lol. Can you imagine how annoying it would be to clean that fan unless they made it super easy to pop in and out.
I was watching at the beginning of the season, but fell off after Rossi screwed up a couple of times. Last two races were good though.
I've been watching that sport for a long time but I fear Rossi is something of a unicorn in that he's not only incredibly good, but also quite charismatic whereas guys like Lorenzo and Marquez appear to be arrogant little shits - though I suppose you would almost have to be if you're going to make it to the top of a sport that is that difficult and ruthless. They're not as much fun to watch as Rossi however, so I kinda wonder what will happen when Rossi decides he's had enough.
I'm not keen on Lorenzo but I've warmed up a little bit to Marquez this year, he's definitely grown up in the last couple of years and isn't quite the little shit bag he was in 2015. His riding style is phenomenal though, I love watching him ride. I'm pleased for Dovi this year, it's a massive long shot but I'd love to see him win the championship, he really deserves it.
Phone and broadband with BT = free BT TV = free BT Sport
I do follow it, really exciting year. I am a bit sad that Val is not going to have a shot at the title but then it does make for exciting racing.
Unfortunately as I work from home, as long as Infinity requires me to pay line rental for a phone I don't need and is slower than cable, I'll be with Virgin Media. MotoGP is the only thing that would make me consider switching though, ha
Guzzi V85 Concept
Always liked Guzzis, hopefully they put this into production now the Stelvio is gone.
And with all the excitement over the Panigale V4, I missed that they announced an 1100 version of the Scrambler
Looks pretty much the same, but I love those Monster 1100 style underseat pipes. Probably hot as hell though if my old Street Triple is any indication..

Yeah I was hoping he could get his tenth title, maybe next year eh! It has been a great year though, no clear winner all year.
Very true, for some reason I just do not want Marc to win. Anyone else but him.
Yeah same. Apart from Vale I was hoping Vinales would clinch it, now I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for Dovi
I will second Dovi, its going to be tough as Marc can be a bit aggressive if he cannot get his way. We will have to see.
I want to test ride as soon as possible. As much as I like my bike now I like this one more hehe
Doooo iiit.
MotoGP is way more exciting that F1, I'm glad I switched.
Correct, was riding home last night and not having any protection from the elements is harsh. I was half frozen when I got home. Still nice to be out if the weather is dry.
The BMW f750GS and f850GS will be starting to appear at the dealers around spring time 2018, I can wait...
You should get up to Birmingham this month and see one at the show
I don't remember it being as exciting for 2017 bikes like 2018 is. Totally anecdotal, but, these new bikes I look forward to knowing more about.
