Hey Guys, I'm Matt and I've just bought a black Scrambler with Arrow exhaust (baffle out). I was looking at different models / makes, but with a strong interest in Bonneville T100. But after doing test rides on both models, the Scrambler put a big smile on my face. I wanted to say Hi, I look forward to use the forum to gain knowledge and tips, and share my experience. Cheers
Hi Matt, if you own a scrambler does your name have to be Matt? I'm sure Matt gaydon will be on to chat at some point
Hi Matt welcome in I bet you enjoyed road testing bikes part not sure you need a scrambler in London did you like the style of bike or are you going off road ?
Hi Crispey, Well I wasn't aware it was a popular bike amongst the "Matt" of this world. We are growing strong!
Hi Peter, I loved the test ride yes. A bit of both, I'm using it to commute but I intend to go on road trips and abroad too. So having this off road option is really good.
Hi Matt, I'm Matt...a relatively new Scrambler owner! Hope you have a great time with her! p.s I definitely approve of both your bike and your name!
Hey Matt, Thank you - Yes I will do some mods but not in the immediate future, I've only got the bike for two weeks. I plan to get some bar-end mirrors, a tail tidy or change the rear light + signals. Have you made some already?
Yeh I've done a tail tidy and changed the front indicators. New rear shocks and put TORS on and put hand guards on.
Yes the single rack seat looks great. You have done a lot of mods already. Did you feel that the rear shocks were bad to change them? So far I don't but I can see this is a common thing, as well as removing the air injection system...
I I think the rear shocks made a really big difference! I got them from TEC bike parts...I know big lad is a fan! And keep thinking about doing the air system but haven't got time and a bit scared of it all!! Anytime your down near Guildford sort of way let me know and we can have a ride!
I will look into the TEC rear shocks too - I saw Delboy's Garage vid on it. Great brand apparently. Will let you know if I'm riding down there. Thanks for sharing.
Hi matt, welcome to the forum. I went down the same road as you I had always had a thing for the T100 but when I rode it was a bit disappointed so just by chance I tried the scrambler and fell in love with it. Had mine since December last year and I really like it, done a few little mods just to make it my own. Happy riding.
