Öhlins Have Been Fitted

Wow...

They are GOOOOOOOD.
You can feel the difference in the first few meters you ride away!
SOLID - QUALITY STUFF.

Öhlins... They're Here!

It's time to replace Tiggers OEM suspension ~ they are truly shot and done... With all that pounding they took in Piemonte and Morocco, together with my weight and side cases - no wonder.

So now he's getting a treat and having something special installed:



Their first mission will be Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Italy...

EICMA Milano, 2011

It all started rolling when I asked Denis if he could smuggle me into the Press & Traders event at the EICMA in Milano (8th - 13th November).
The first three days are for the press and traders, while the last three are open to thee public.

Anyway.... we - Bruno and I - got tickets!

So plans were made:
- meet up at Moto91 07:15 -
- drive down to Milano -
- SEE THE NEW TRIUMPH TIGER EXPLORER -
- photograph some ladies -
- drive back -

First stop, Axenstrasse for refueling.



Then the EICMA, Milano with all its goodies...




And of course, Triumph and the new Explorer:







Naturally, Denis had to give an interview for the television...



Of course - a seat testing session of the new Tiger was also a MUST!




There was also a very nice looking Tiger 800XC - fitted out with some very special accessories.











All in all, a FANTASTIC day.
