Short but sweet

Can you put bags on the Scrambler?

Not really... Triumph can supply a soft pannier for the LH side, but it’s a token effort. As an only bike, the Scrambler would not work for me, but alongside my GS, it will be just fine.

My conversion to the dark side is now complete. I swapped the CB for the Triumph Scrambler yesterday.

I know I'm in the honeymoon period but I'm completely smitten with this bike. Comfort is superb, the ride is smooth and the engine has massive torque and tractability. Yes, the exhaust gets warm in traffic but keeping my right foot on the peg (normal position for me) avoids any problem.

Love it!

At least if you break up with your bike you do not need a lawyer !

A "chocolate box" cottage - and a Scrambler...

I better not let my wife see this picture as she would love to buy a cottage somewhere in England , preferably in the Cotswold.

Dang that Scrambler looks good from any angle. It appears unable to have a bad picture taken of it.

Perhaps this one?



I needed to remove the exhaust cans to fit a booster plug...

Or this one...

which shows the need for my next mod - a tail tidy to reduce the length of the rear end.

 

[Richard_imp]

^^^ Well, I've addressed the tail tidy issue. Very pleased with the results...



Next up, change the front indicators to match the new ones on the rear - and think about some alternative mirrors...
