    Hi I'm about to take ownership of a new Scrambler on the 1st March , the fast red and silver one

    Been biking for about 15 years and I love it as much as I love my amazing family.

    I have posted some pictures of a few of my previous bikes in the gallery

    Just about to start scrolling through all the interesting posts
    Looking forward to meeting some members when we get a chance

    Hi James and welcome to the forum.
    As you can see I didn't bother with a nickname either.

    Hi James. I'm also a new scrambler owner I got mine just before Xmas but still haven't had much of a chance to get out on it yet. I went for the matt blue but I think it looks great in all the colours triumph do. Is it still as standard or have you done any mods?

    Thanks for all the welcome guys.

    I'm having the arrow pipe fitted, grab rail and a headlight grill by the dealer.

    I'm gonna try a PCP deal for 3 years and after that if I like it I'll buy it and then start modding to my taste.

    If it doesn't get used by the family much I'll swap it for a new speed triple lol.
