Late November before the forecast snow flies and I take the Kit out for a speedy 50 miler. the 2 mile stretch past this Lake Bluff destination just before you reach the Great Lakes Naval Station is a nice run past open fields and wooded copses.

Under a Tudor Crown
– motivational quotes can inspire confidence and achievement. Or, they can just tell you to go out and ride!

Family Tree
DNA
– For over six decades there has been a Tiger model in the Triumph line-up. Each generation epitomized the riding needs of its time.

A Ride on the Wild Side
– here’s some adventurer scooting along the truckers route between Fairbanks and Prudhoe Bay. Also known as The Dalton Highway. I’d love to take the Big Kitteh along this road.

Eight Fifty
– Today saw the launching of a base model 900 Tiger. More road-centric than the Rally model it’s aimed at the city commuters and Highway or A road tourists. Diablo Red or Caspian Blue are the color options.

Relocation
– a quick alteration to shift the indicators from their lower, and exposed, position to a placement just off the headlight. The old location is replaced with a small flush Union Flag motif LED light. Kit made by Terry Harrison in the UK.

Cobbles
Assassins in the City. With blacked out visor and matching leathers here’s a femme fatale using the dual sport Tiger to chase down targets. Double oh?
November 8, 2020
– with November temperatures in the upper sixties a smashing couple of hundred mile loop was undertaken over in DuKalb and McHenry counties. Rolling farmland along old Midwestern routes such as “Plank Road” and “”Lincoln Highway”. Red barns is various degrees of decrepitude sprinkled the rural scene. Oh, and Trump lost reelection- all in all a pretty pretty pretty good day.

Between a Wing and a Prayer
– the de Havilland Tiger Moth was developed in the 30’s as a training aircraft. There are still examples that are operated due to unexcitable characteristics powered by the sturdy Gipsy engine. This example is set to race a Triumph Tiger.

Woof!
– the new reinforced hand-guards are now affixed to the Tiger. Australian made Barkbusters have a hefty aluminum strap across the knuckles. Still good wind breaking shields too.

A different viewpoint
– sometimes you just need to look at things from a fresh perspective. The Tiger has an interesting front heavy form with a muscular tank and fairing; somewhat like an owl.

Cats Paw
– the Swiss Army Knife of motorcycles. It’ll go anywhere, anytime, anyhow, and keep you grinning.
October 26, 2020
Full Frontal
– one more thing I like about the Tiger is its front view. Making sure you are visible to the other road users is imperative.

Fall Color
– a nice autumnal spin along Sheridan Road through the Northshore suburbs which were splendid under the blue October sky. Temperatures were on the chilly side but my heated vest and grips kept this rider toasty.
