been in the saddle for 40 years.. just bought a 2015 tiger 1200 explorer from an expat.. 36000km and very well looked after..in a remote area in Saudi on a construction project so my ability to run down to the dealer ( In Bahrain) is zero. Plan to do some local touring if the bike works out. I need reliability so I can get home. as a kid I had a Triumph Stag sports car for a while and it was my pride and joy, but that MF was so unreliable I had to ditch it... the little Renault 15 that replaced it was one of the best little cars i've owned. So I am here because I have an issue already and have posted a question... will see how we go...
