Hi folks I was referred here by a man with a black drz (Jdawg I
believe). I ride a 2005 Triumph Tiger 955i and am based out of La
Ronge. My bike is mostly stock but I'm working on making it a little
more off road worthy. I just ordered a high front fender kit and a
custom pipe for it. Hoping to replace the factory fiberglass bags
with something a little more trail friendly. Also looking to replace
the tires later this year with more dirt worthy rubber once my current
set wears out a bit more. I'd love to meet up with some other sask
riders this year!

welcome to the group, the Narrow Hills ride will be close for you. I
am 1/2 hr south of Choiceland by Wapiti so am sure we will see each
other before the end of summer.

Glad to see you found us ok. I hope you will be able to join in some
rides.
The guys here are all really great. And I think you might be our only
triumph.

There are actually 2 Tiger 955i's up here. The other guy has the
earlier model with the spoke wheels and some killer knobby tires.
I'll keep an eye on the site and make sure to join in on at least one
ride!

Welcome to the group, dj. My buddy Andy in Calgary had one of those
Tigers for a little while. He wishes he hadn't sold it. They're a
heavy bike for the trails, but a solid adventure touring mount for
sure. For Sask dirt and gravel roads they're perfect.

Hope to see you down here at some point. I'd like to get up there to
ride sometime too, but my riding is already all set up for this year
with the TCAT exploration I need to complete yet. However, I'm sure
some of the guys will be heading up to Narrow Hills at some point for
a ride, and I'll be heading through there in August when I'm showing
Ted Johnson the Prairie Provinces section of the TCAT.

Hi everybody, I'm new here but not to riding. I'm on a 2008 Versys and
I do some touring and mild adventure riding with it. That and I ride
it to work just about every day that I can. I've had it in mud up to
its axles and on its side one or twice too.

I'm in Saskatoon and am always looking to meet more people that share
my condition (motorcycling).

My buddy Whitey and I are in the process of planning our annual trip.
With the 2011 trip videos all done we are excited for another trip and
the hijinx that usually follows.
