Do Scramblers count?
My first 'big bike' was a '66 TR120, and I religiously carried the tools I needed to keep her alive when the usual Lucas bugs showed themselves (I had that kit nailed, as I also had an Austin Healey at the time). In '97 I bought myself a Trophy 3, which I still have (and will never give up). Had a Thruxton which I regrettably had to sell; but being 'old enough to tap the IRA without penalties', I found it difficult to ride more than a few hundred miles at a stretch on the 'sporty' Thrux.
So now I have a Scrambler. I'm in the process of procuring the bits to transform it into what I call a 'Tiger Cub'. Something for me to do a bit of exploring on, with enough performance to stay with the crowds and more class than any of those other 'adv' bikes. I love it. I'll never part with it.
Oh yeah, and I told my wife she could name the bike. Her name is 'Buffy' - and I like it. :rocks:
... and I watched 'On Any Sunday' just this very morning (while it snowed outside).
