Weekend Plans Feb 21st

I'm hoping to head down to Marne, Iowa with Shannon L. and Loyd A. after the club breakfast this Saturday to the Spring Baxter Cycle Open House. Whats this world coming to - Shannon has become a huge Triumph fan since he sold his KLR and traded his R1100S Replica in for a new 1055 Tiger last fall. We are going to have to see how he fares on that thing during a real trip.

I rode the new Tiger model twice at Randy's open house in August at Marne, and then once again in September. I almost fell for it myself, but I figured with my We-Strom I had it covered. The new Tiger is really kind of like my We-Strom except its a little bit better ... in just about every way except price and maintenance. Either bike should be great at curve carving.
