    Hi Guys,

    I'm new to the forum and delighted to be the new owner of a new Scrambler...ridden bikes for years off road and finally got around to doing my DAS and getting the dream bike.

    Just wanted to say hello and looking forward to reading up more on Scramblers as well as other Triumphs and chatting with other like minded owners.

    Picked up my new bike just after Christmas, it's in black with the Arrow exhaust (minus the baffle ), head lamp protector and Thruxton seat in brown.

    Looking forward to getting involved with the bike chat (my wife is getting a bit bored of it)!

    Cheers

    Hi grjohns, welcome to the forum. I'm a new scrambler owner as well got mine just before Xmas and now starting to do a few mods. Interested to know how you get on with the arrow exhaust I'm thinking of changing exhaust and really like the look of the scorpion system.

    Hi Abcght100,

    I love the Arrow exhaust, I think it makes the bike (see attached pic, excuse my grinning mug). It looks great (in my opinion) and sounds lovely. I have the baffle removed from mine and it's pretty loud!

    Be great to hear what other mods your planning...?

    Not surprised your grinning bike looks great. Just a few small mods to start with headlight stone guard, lockable petrol cap, solo seat with chrome rack on back of it and will change exhaust once I make up my mind which one to go for. All good fun ;-)

    Hi and welcome to the forum - good to see a few Scramblers on here now. I think we all have soft spots for them!

    John are you intending to use off road as it looks as Matt doesn't mind getting his dirty ?

    Well it's a scrambler it's meant to be dirty!

    I do occasionally clean it too!

    Hi Matt I just would find it very hard to make myself ride my pride and joy through a muddy field:( but would have no problems and even enjoy riding yours across it :)
