Hello from Clovis CA
 

New here and really enjoying the site and the good folks.

Currently ride a Husky TE449 DS. This is my first bike ever but been riding quads and three wheelers long before those. The Husky is a great machine and Im having a blast in my local mountians. I happen to have the Sierra Nevadas, Kings Canyon and Yosemite as my playground.

While the Husky is a blast, Im getting older and this thing can hurt you if your not careful. Im thinking about slowing it down a bit and I now have an uncurable itch for a medium weight ADV bike. Want to do some Mexico touring and USA as well. I think Ive found my machine, the Triumph Tiger 800XC. It just speaks to me. This site and the friendly advice is not helping my situation with the wife! I think an XC is in my near future.

Thanks for the good work here.

Hi McKay,

Welcome!
I first breezed through your area in '85 with a backpack on my back. Stayed in 3 rivers for a year and bought a '76 wing from Sanders in Visalia.
You're right, you live in a wonderful playground! wish i was there still :)

See you on the road someday.

nice area
 

I concur with last pst, my brother lived in Crowley Lake which just down hill from ,Mammoth CA. Truly majestic area.

Yes I have a Suzuki SV650 but feel an XT660 might suit adventuring more.....guys at the bike cafe club love the TIGER though........
