Baby Brother

[britman]

The Fat Bottom Girl has a new Baby Brother. I decided this spring I was going to simplify life and go down to just two reliable machines. Two of the antique models I brought back to life have been sold. They weren't being ridden and just sitting in the garage costing for tags and insurance. There were some second thoughts and a tear or two, but the first ride on the 900 Scrambler made up my mind. It is one **** fun motorcycle. It is a 2008, the last year for carburetters. The D&D exhaust is a pretty close second to the Jardines for noise pollution. It is always a good day when you get a new motorcycle.

Time to break out the Steve McQueen T shirts....Very nice. Now go find some gravel county roads and get after it.

I wonder if I could convince my wife that our FBG needs a baby brother.
She looks so lonely sometimes.

Now that's an incredibly sweet ride! Enjoy it and be safe.

I rode the scrambler a few times while I was helping out at the Triumph demo day and boy that is one fun bike to drive, have fun George and be careful.
PS polish that bloody bike.

Love them..

I had one and loved it. When you just want to pootle about, then the scrambler is a lovely (if heavy) bike which does loads. I did burn myself a few times on the exhaust mind..

Check out the ADVrider website for what some people do to the scrambler, and where they take them...!!

Speaking of, how come you went for the carburettor model? I had an 08 plate and it was the new EFI, except the fuel injection is disguised as carburettors.. (really!)..

Scramblers make great winter hack bikes (if they are all covered in the right stuff) with winter tyres on

The EFI models didn't make it to the States until 09, one year behind the home country.
