I sold my Tiger in the Fall after my trip and wasn't planning on getting another one for a little while. But then I found a deal I just couldn't resist on a 2008 Yamaha WR250R. It weighs just less than half of the Tiger and has much better ground clearance and is going to be a lot more fun in the hills. Here's some pics of todays ride. Not much snow on the top because of all of the wind but it was a pain riding there up the steep, slippery slopes through much deeper snow.
