howdy,
been too busy at work, and bogged down at home to log in.
I rode the scrambler a year or so ago, fitted with the louder pipes and
loved it.
Its not up to the off road stuff that my KLR can handle, but its a great
ride on tar and pretty good on a graded dirt or gravel road.
I'm 6'3" so the scrambler fits me better than the bonnie, which I also love.
I see one standing in my garage, next to the Rocket III and my Daytona 1075
(anyone listening at Triumph?)
all I need is the cash.............
cheers
