Tiger

2014 Triumph Tiger 800xc

My favorite and go to bike for adventure. This tiger has been adventuring from the get go. She was given to a Adventure Bike TV Show for a Special Arctic Ride, Once finished the producer like it so much he purchased it from Triumph.

Since then she has done more adventure rides until Tom (the producer) sold it to yours truly. The show did a excellent review of the bike which you can watch here.

Some engineering dudes looking for gas caused the collapse.... and fearing the gas would be damaging, they decided to burn it away. Apparently this should have stopped after 48 hours 😁 Now 40+ yrs on it still burns and this place now has the name 'Gates of hell'

Instagram post 2184426720975450289_3945440517 They don't come stranger than the capital city of Turkmenistan.... Ashgabat
Some crazy facts .... this city has the most white marble buildings in the world. (But it's illegal to take photos of most of them)
The city has been called the 'city of the dead' cause you won't see many people walking around. Just government guards. 
Smoking is banned in public. 
It's illegal to drive a dirty car. 
Is has the most gas deposits in the world and 70% of the land is desert. .... And finally Turkmenistan is number 7 on the list of least visited countries in the world. 😲. Most people come here for the gate to hell. More on that later. 🇹🇲 #ashgabat #turkmenistan #2011 #mongolrally
