Doin valve clearances? Use dappers valve shim exchange program and the job will be carroty - Free (other than you postin me yer shims) for sporting members.
Just kidding, nice bike. I think you'll be back on this forum more than you think. I can't find a Triumph Tiger forum that has the same feel as this one.
sweet bike ... I've lusted after the same one (in red, but the midnight blue is very nice too). Lucky me I'm too short (and too poor) for such a fine bit of German engineering. So I'll stick with the tdm!
Good luck with the new bike Alun - for some time now I too have been casting approving glances at certain german boxer twins, and if my finances are in order later this year I may well be going down the same road as you.
Cheer Alunl...................we've enjoyed your company and posts over the years (even though you spell yer name a funny way )...................keep with us and enjoy your new toy
