Riding with Family!

 

When my kids were too young to ride my friends like Doug, Tommy, Bill and a few more became my brothers that I rode with. These guys meant everything to me, and we rode together everywhere. They still mean the world to me, and we still ride together. That’s over 50 years of riding as family!

As my son, Bryan, got to the age he could ride on the streets with me, it added a new dimension to my life. I had dreamed of riding with my kids when they got older and pictured riding with them all of my life. Well, I’m 71 and my son Bryan is still riding with me to this day! I started him riding when he was seven years old and he turned into an accomplished rider that is proficient on the track, in the dirt and on the road. It has been my joy to ride with him on all of those. It’s hard to describe the feelings of love, pride, respect and thrill I have when I look over and see him on whatever bike he happens to be on. My daughter, Carrie, also became a rider in dirt and on the road. We have ridden together many times, but she moved away years ago and has since stopped riding. I know we will ride together again.

I am the luckiest man alive for the wonderful friends, who are my true brothers, and my son that I am privileged to get to ride with. And, the love of my life, Cyndy, rides too. I plan to have at least 20 more years of riding with all of them!

Riding motorcycles is more about emotions than logic and necessity. Ride with people you care about, and it will enhance your riding experience beyond your wildest expectations!

NEW ACTIVE PRELOAD REDUCTION

A new Active Preload Reduction was developed to reduce the rear suspension preload as the Tiger 1200 slows, allowing the seat heights to be reduced. 


For the GT, GT Pro and GT Explorer there are currently two seat height settings – 33.46in and 34.25in, while for the Rally Pro and Rally Explorer these are 34.44in and 35.23in. Through the accessory-fit low seat option, riders are already able to lower the seat position by an additional 0.78in, giving a lowest seat height of 32.67in on the GT family and 33.66in on the Rally family.
