New Triumph Rider

Post by TheChief »

Good Morning All.
Just popping in to say Hello having just joined your forum. I passed my test in Mid August and purchased and took delivery of my spankers Triumph Tiger 800XC 10 days later. Since then I have covered almost 5k miles including an 'emotional' journey in November to the Tower of London where my experienced Rider Mates insisted on filtering - a baptism of fire and some lol.
Extremely interested in joining the Blood Bikers and also looking for a decent helmet cam - any recommends?
Up for a ride here and there and look forward to meeting some of you in the not too distant future.
Steve

Hi Steve, welcome to the luni bin. 5K is more than a lot of people manage in a couple of years. And can't think of a better bike to do it on, yes ok, I ride a triumph to, albeit a Daytona 675 not the tiger. :D

The free wheelers is awesome (assume that's what you mean by the 'blood bikers'). Thought about it myself. have to do the IAM, then you have blue light training, which, lets face it, is why any of us would want to do it.

Like everything, it's time.

Any way, hope to see you on the friendly ride.

Don't care who you are, how much you have, how powerful you are. You still sit on the toilet with your pants around your ankles. Yep, it's a level playing field..
