This is the full story of the "Stealth Scrambler" or "Super Scrambler" as its become known:
http://www.triumphrat.net/triumph-twins-hangout/64512-scrambler-stealth-project.html
Before I bought it, I had a theory that if it was possible to load up a land yacht like a BMW GS and go to out of the way places, then a Scrambler would have to go some way to being just as capable. It seems I wasnt the only one with that idea.
I will be doing some big trips on mine along with a few others.
Cheers,
Brett.

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.

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.............
