Triumph Tiger does what the box says

With the arrival of the Triumph Tiger Explorer, the Germans no longer have a title deed to the road less travelled. Humankind are strange creatures. We huddle together in large groups for mutual support yet, given the chance, most of us love to visit the wild open spaces of our planet. The more we come to rely on our gizmos and gadgets, the more we want to get away from them.

Those of us who ride motorcycles have a name for it: adventure touring. And some of the most impressive (some would say intimidating) two-wheelers ever built have been designed for just that purpose. Now Triumph has unleashed its own version of the ultimate beetle-crusher - the Tiger 1200 Explorer. READ ON

The rear tire hits something slick, perhaps a thin line of diesel fuel slopped onto the roadway by that smoke-belching, errantly driven tanker truck I passed going the other way a few klicks back. The tire slips and the rear end steps out momentarily, but the TC light flashes and the bike regains traction before my cheeks can clench involuntarily. Crisis averted, I continue driving hard out of the corner, standing the bike up and blasting down a short straight before the next blind left-hander. Though I’ve never ridden this bike before, it feels familiar, like an old friend. I’ve all but forgotten yesterday’s marathon, intercontinental trip to Andalucia, Spain, and the two high-octane café solo dobles I slurped down over breakfast burned off the last fog of my jet lag. Right now, on a crisp mid-February morning under sunny blue skies, I’m focused on the serpentine road beneath me, riding what feels like a hooligan bike fed a steady diet of steroids and growth hormone.
