Out with the old, in with the new
«

For the past year or so I've been looking and looking for a new bike with ABS. My ZR-7S was getting a little outdated. In addition, since my crash in 2009, my wife wanted me to get a bike with ABS I was looking at several different bikes - BMW's, Suzuki V-Strom and Bandit, Triumphs, FJR's, etc.
Well, last week I found what I'd been looking for. A 2011 Tiger 800 with only 800 miles on it and the seller was only about 2 miles from my house. It came with Triumph hard bags and a center stand. I saw the bike and made an offer, the seller accepted and the deal was made. Talk about a easy deal, it don't get any easier.
Here's the new Tiger!

That's exactly what my wife said when I got it home. And I must say, the Tiger sure is nice to ride.

In October, I'm going to Bolivia for 2 weeks of riding. Will that be good enough for my next trip report?
