Today is January 9, 2025 and I am just now getting around to editing the videos of my east coast trip that I took back in September 1, 2023. This is video number one, with more to follow.
Driver cut me off

On my way to Jeep Dealer a drive cut me off with no regard for my life, I am finding out there are a number of people in the El paso area who do not have respect for motorcycle riders.

Nice ride!
Picked up a Tiger 850 Sport as my secondary bike.
Welcome to ownership of a Tiger 900. Regard your mirrors - recommend you stay with the present set up and take some time learning the new location. If you do an off road course you will spend time standing up and having the mirrors high is beneficial. I am also in the process of going to after market mirrors - getting the Doubletake mirrors adventure kit. More robust if you lay the bike down plus can fold out of the way if you need. I also prefer the coverage over the stock which are not bad. I rode to Alaska from Colorado and back last summer and was getting over 250 miles between tank fills and never put in more than 18 liters (4.75 US gal)- capacity is 20 liters (5.28 US gallons for my bike). Enjoy the ride.
I decided to keep current mirrors and leave them the way they are. This is different riding than a Harley. And for me, more fun.
Fun to see my home town. I haven't been there in almost 20 years. Congrats on the bike! Doodle for the win.
72...you're a puppy! In September I and a friend and his son rented a bike in Italy and did the Dolomites in Italy and up into Switzerland.....and I'm 80
That is good to know because I want to take another trip the summer of 2025.
is there a microphone inside the helmet whose output is being piped to the chin mounted POV camera (GoPro ?). If so- is it covered via some kind of 'dead cat' noise suppressor etc?
Yes I have a microphone inside the helmet. I taped it in place to the front inside and just a bit to the right side of my mouth. I also put a Dead Cat over the mic to reduce wind noise. I then ran the mic cable to the outside of the the helmet and plugged it into a GoPro Mic adapter. Then the adapter plugs into the go pro. NOTE: I am thinking of changing to DJI action 5 cameras because the GoPros have been unreliable. They freeze or turn off and in some cases just won't turn on. They are not old cameras either.
thanks ! look forward to the DJI reviews- should you elect to go that way.
Doodle rocks! Love her channel!
Frank wrote u a text some time ago. U must have deleted my phone no. I was writing to apologize. Pls reactivate text and read mine. I was very very exhausted. Not a great excuse but that truth. I miss u . Pls send me a text
at least you’ve had the sense to move away from HD chromed bullshit
Hmmm...
@@royupton2031 - I still have my 2018 Harley Davidson Fat Bob FXFBS. I like it, but now at age 73 it's a bit too heavy for me. I consider the Tiger a down size. No chrome on my HD. It's all black.
Love it! I was looking at that bike because of Doodle, as well! 😂
I just took it on it's first long ride Texas to CA. One change/addition I would make - a Motorcycle Seat Cushion. The Tiger seat is not bad on short rides. But try sitting on it for 4 hours. Needs more cush.
How U lk ur Tiger since u hav owned it I had the same exact bike. I noticed u still hav the stock seat. I changed to a more comfortable Sargent seat it helped me That’s just my Preference anyway Stay Safe & Hav Fun✌️
I'm really liking this Motorcycle. It's so much more agile than my Harley Davidson fat Bob FXFBS. I just had to sell my Harley. I'm gonna take this motorcycle on a trip from Texas to California real soon
Had the same exact blue bike I know ur going to like it now I’m trading it n for a 2024 Tiger GT PRO only because of Triumph Tiger Updates Congrats on ur Tiger HAV FUN 👍✌️
Thank you
Hey Uncle frank that was a great video I loved it keep up the great work and stay healthy by the way this is Gabe❤
Quick one for you, What SD cards are you using in the 2 7 black and the 2 8 black (disregarding the one that does whatever it feels like)?
I use SanDisk Extreme Plus 256 GB and Lexar 256 GB cards
@@frankmoralesiii6908 Ahh dang cant see and issue with those, Have you tried reaching out to GoPro, I have had 5's 7's 9's and now an 11. the 7 never had any issues, (other then heat down here is Australia) would recommend a GoPro 9 or 11 black with the sandisk cards I have sandisk extreme 400gb cards and never had an issue, but also bought a insta360 x3 recently and it kicks ass compared to just the normal action cameras.
I was going to jump all over you if you dissed Doodle but you didn't! 😁 LOVE HER!😍
Dis Doodle on a Motorcycle? NEVER!
Good for you and for her ^_^
When we going for a ride
Im a lone wolf
Hey man I got a tiger Ilive on the west side we got to get together for a ride
Almost bought a Tiger but came to my sense's that my Moto Guzzi V85TT is best all around ADV bike for the street.
Ha. Cool. 👍🤪🏳️🌈
She’s married bro.
Yes she's married and I'm old enough to be her grandfather. I don't understand your statement
@@frankmoralesiii6908 Come on brother it’s YT. Was just a joke. I throw I kinds of silly comments 😂.
New bike day is always the best. Enjoy!
We ride motorcycles. People drive cars. Just sayin.
Hello from South Africa! I've got a Tiger because of Doodle on a Motorcycle too!
Congrats Frank I hope you like it!! 😃 and yes that’s the exact same as my bike!
I'm looking at 24 Red one. But I don't want to give up my T120 either....
@mikemeechan Can't give up the T120, Those Bonnevilles are just too unique and pure British class. Timeless! A distinguished gentleman's cruiser.
That bike is awesome. Out of my price range but would love to do it someday.
That smile says it all
One of the things I learned from watching Doodle is that I was not looking at all of my options. I like the ADV style of bike and had an Africa Twin for a little over a year, the Triumph Tigers are a better fit for me. Thanks Doodle!
😂😂😂
BRAVO
I got the same bike 😅
Great choice!!
I know everyone on here is going to tell you how silly it was to put tyre shine on, but hey, we are all human. I do want to warn you that simply washing your tyres won't fully fix it. Unfortunately, tyre shine is silicone, and the silicone will soak into the rubber. Your only fix is new tyres. Sorry to tell you that, but I would rather you were safe. There are quite a few people that have done this and found out the hard way. There are videos on TH-cam of others warning about it, and those videos have all said the same. The tyres need to go. Stay safe, buddy.
Thanks for the input. I scrubbed the heck out of the tires with a stiff brush, very hot water mixed with dawn soap and vinegar. I did this twice. Once the tires were dry I put on all my safety gear and I took the bike to a large empty parking lot so I could make some hard right and left turns. Looks like my cleaning worked because the bike did not slip out from under me. The tires gripped the tarmac.
This comment was purely made because I have a hunch this video might blow up in the algorhythm...
????????
@@frankmoralesiii6908 You know those videos that have 2 billion views and the channel has 1500 subs, with all other videos also having just 1000-2000 views? I thought this one might become one of those (and comments boost engagement). Sorry if I was rude / confusing
omg you put tire shine on your tires!!!!! just clean the tires with soap and water! never put tire shine. you lean on a bike unlike a car. you are gunna hit the slick part of the tire. how did you not know that?
Yep. I had a senior moment. I've been riding that motorcycle since 2018 washed it with soap and water only. I can't explain this one stupid move I made.
Everyone goes down. The point is to learn. Glad you’re ok.
There are two types of motorcyclists Those that have dropped their bikes Those that are going to drop their bikes
@@frankmoralesiii6908 you gotta be careful when the roads are wet. Now with 114 and bigger engines. People are going to spin tires. If you don’t have the experience like racing in the dirt on dirt bikes. It will take the back tire out from under you.
I have been riding the FXFBS since 2018. That particular corner I have taken a lot as it is down the street from my home. I don't know what I was thinking but I put Hot Shine Tire Coating on the tires. I attribute the bike sliding because of the Hot Shine Tire Coating. What the H was I thinking.@@zarfx4127
whered u travel from, i live in Chaparral,NM lol
nevermind lol, i recognize my home city lol, just didnt recognize the neighborhood
I bought a rally pro because of watching her channel.
I quit watching Doodle.
Hmmm....
That was a really good idea on how to mount your cameras. 👍
Great idea 👍🏼
Good choice of bike, but the 900 Rally Pro would be better.
i usually just put the whole 4x8 sheet in my bed and close the tailgate on my original gladiator
Triumph's marketing plan trapped one more.
I truly do not consider marketing plans. If I did, I would have picked the Kawasaki versus. At age 72, I felt the need to downsize from my 2018 Harley Davidson Fat Bob FXFBS (1st and only Harley ever owned). I went into a dealership sat on several different motorcycle brands test road them. Triumph fit me best.
@@frankmoralesiii6908 , doodle marketed for triumph. That is why she is called an influencer. The Versys is the more reliable choice but has zero off road potential. Did you get electronic cruise control? That does make the Triumph a better touring bike IMO. We are constantly marketed to. Enjoy your new ride.
@@frankmoralesiii6908 , oh, and who is marketing the Versys models?
@@Dave-sw2dm - Not Triumph
@@Dave-sw2dm - I would assume Kawasaki markets that Motorcycle since they make it.
Nice bike for sure. I almost bought a Tiger 660 in the same blue yesterday. The sales men actually talked me down and suggested I schedule a test drive 1st before committing to it.
Glad to see that the riding season is finally here. Just need these winds to stop and it will be perfect!
It’s open to retreats … no reason to mention Covid. Ride safe …
Boy you are responding to my video late and I vaguely remember what occurred that day. I think there was a sign on the gate saying closed due to Covid and that’s why I mentioned covid.
Is that a 2x6? What length did you cut?
Yes, a 2 x 6
Glad you made it home primo before the rain gotcha!!! Stay safe out there! 🏍 Maybe if you get to stop by and visit our cousin in San Antonio, you both can reach out to Louie who also lives there! ☺️
LOV IT❗
