Looking forward to some photos Alex.

Were you chasing the Panigale in 2nd & 3rd gear on a good dirt surface?
It's just more time to be flat out!

Home again,I had intentions of an occasional updates while away but it didn't happen we traveled over 6000 k's in 12 days,8 states and a bit in canada. A few excursions off road tiger is a very easy bike to ride.Found some tight little tracks in wyoming that were rutted and reasonable steep with the odd boghole the bike coped pretty well although it doesn't land well off jumps.Desert roads were a blast a very stable bike at stupid speeds.I met some pretty good people saw some amazing scenery had a drug bust in a neibouring room received a lecture about speeding in a national park, all good fun and no crashes
