Hello all, Just a brief hello to all here from this Oregon Tiger rider. Bought new last year right about this time, I've put just shy of 12000 miles on it so far. Bent it, beat it and bled on it and I couldn't be happier with the bike. Bought a bunch of gear (some of which I've actually used) and I'm just generally trying to get as much saddle time out and away in the dirt as possible.

Anyone running one of these? Like it? It replaces the underseat snorkel, acting as an air filter pre-filter. We all know how much of a joy it is to access the air filter on the Tiger. I have one coming, so I'll post up how it goes and best of all, how it works. To be fair, the stock filter does a great job. But, if I can clean the Uni vs. the main filter 2-3X:1, well worth 30 so bucks. http://www.touratech-usa.com/Store/3351/PN-420-0870/Unifilter-Pre-Filter-Kit-Triumph-Tiger-800-XC

I used one while I had my XC, I liked it as it was much easier to clean and oil compared to the air filter. Be ready for the install however, you need the hands of an 8 year old girl.

Missed out on registration please add me to any waiting lists for this event. Thanks!

This photo sure caused a lot of discussion as Ed March was trolling the BMW riders.

Yesterday May 21 Day 23 I headed towards Yosemite from Carmel hoping to go through Yosemite take pics and ride over the Tioga pass and north towards travertine hot springs. Decent day on the interstate considering I had a hot shower, a big bed and a half a pot of coffee before setting out. It's amazing what a good nights sleep can do. It was a pretty uneventful day. Though I dropped my iPhone and shattered the screen. First really I really annoying mishap of the journey. Panda Express for lunch, which was awesome and along the way I picked up a bag of plums and apricots for 8$ that was some of the best fruit I've ever had. I made camp that night at The Pines campsite off 120 on the western edge of Yosemite. As soon as I set up my tent a quick 2 minutes of pretty good peanut M&Ms sized hail then clear again. I took it as a warning and stashed most of my gear inside the tent and threw the tarp over the bike. While there I set up my hammock caught up on my journal, took a nap and realized that the outlet I had "charged" my Nikon battery on must have not been working because my camera was flat dead. That really annoyed me considering Yosemite is tomorrow's destination, and there is nothing to do but charge it off the bike once I start moving tomorrow. I had dinner of canned stew, plums and apricots and went to sleep early. May 22 Day 24 I woke up early and there was a very heavy dew and everything was soaked, so I made coffee finished off the last two plums and two apricots dried and packed my tent and hammock which I knew I shouldn't have left out overnight, then headed into Yosemite. The entrance gate was jammed so I knew the park would be crowded. Very crowded indeed. I also saw that Tioga pass had closed overnight so I pulled over and whipped out my Butler map and figured out if I wanted to get to travertine hot springs or mono lake area, which was the plan, I would have to take the more northern Sonora pass over the mountains. So I took 120 into the park 140 out then 49 north towards the Sonora pass which also was closed. So I backtracked down 49 to the Moccasin Campground on Don Pedro lake. Really nice campground with beautiful sites, water, a nice bathroom and right now there is only one other occupied camp site besides me in the whole place. Tonight I have not set up my tent and am going to try out the hammock I've dragged all this way and only used twice so far. I've got my camera charged up and tomorrow I'm going to give Yosemite another go, Monday should be a lower traffic day and the weather looks clear so hopefully Tioga pass will be open and I will be able to make it to Mono lake/ travertine hot springs. https://vimeo.com/167684647https://vimeo.com/167684884 Thanks for reading everyone hopefully tomorrow will be a great day for pictures!
