New Bike!!!
[Image: 19e7re2.jpg]
<b>New bike</b>, to the left of the picture, is an 04 Triumph Tiger. I bought it privately and it came with centre-stand, heated grips (brill), Triumph pan ears, Triumph tankbag, touring Scottoiler. I put the Touratech pan ears on straight away (Triumph ones will be Ebayed) and they make the bike look less Mondeo and a bit more Charlie 'n Ewan; they are massive and cuboid shape makes them very usable. Triumph engine is great, brakes are sh!te. Still got the TDM in Thailand; we got jobs there, starting Sep. Triumph is for European/African adventures; we are in Morocco at the moment.

<b>Old bike</b>, to the right of the picture, is the misses. Goes fairly well for age, quite comfy, expensive to run, etc, etc.

Remember Dil's Diner at Betws-y-Coed?

Me spends are running out, might have to shelve the St Petersburg part of the trip, which was to follow Morocco. Still got till September before I go back to work, though, so I'll have to think of something. Still got the TDM, by the way. Tis in Thailand awaiting our return in September.

Anyway, here's a pic of a Moroccan chick.
