Hi Leo,

I seem to remember meeting you many years ago, might have been at the Stella rally or some TRF thing, the memory is not what it used to be :D

Welcome along, Bob.

I presume you've already ridden the coast of Norway?

Welcome aboard Leo from a frosty Somerset,

Are there jobs the Tiger can do that the big KTM can't? Whats Iran like.

Cheers

Bren

I think the reverse scenario is more likely.

the tiger in its time was a very capable machine and reliable it got me to Dakar and back no problem but the 1190 is a different ball game almost a game changer in its capability power looks,handling but the tiger still has a lot of memories.
the coast of Norway was my first adventure on a dt175 rode with my mate pete(xl250) from Bergen to nordkapp down through finland ,Sweden to lindesnay the most southern point in norway
Bob you may remember me and brother Dave leading round north yorks a few times and you leading us round northants
