Fitted Thruxton clip-ons to the Scrambler recently so being that a picture paints a thousand words (or so they say), here's the comparison. The First pic was taken at Qld raceway and the second pic at Phillip Island only a few weeks back. Before we race prepped the bike for Phillip...

Preparations are underway to run the Scrambler in the BEARS supporting races at the Bel Ray 6 Hour at Phillip Island December 3-4. We hope to have a new muffler end pipe fabricated and a small handlebar fairing installed by race day as well as a bit more dyno time to eek out some more power...

When is a Scrambler not a Scrambler? I guess the answer is Once a Scrambler always a Scrambler! I am still waiting on a 5" black Excel rim hence the dual-sport rim on the rear. The front is fitted with a Continental Race Attack (street version) and I have a 160/60x17 ready to fit to...

Weekend before last was the Queensland round of the Australian Historic Motorcycle Championship held at Morgan Park, nearly four hours ride from where I live. An old mate was racing his Matchless G50 replica in the up to 1962 section so I promised to help out as pit crew. My mate Ozzi...

After a many months of laborious design, intense R&D and rigorous trials we now bring to the Scrambler community the... wait for it... drum roll please... The Scrambler Mudbuster. OK, I jest a little but here it is! The Mudbuster is designed to be used in conjunction with the Triumph...

Having the key fob and steering lock key etc flapping around in the wind was constant source of distraction not to mention the inconvenience and awkward out-of-reach location plus not being able to switch off with either hand... so here is my answer but if you have a tacho on your bike please...

Nevada Bob does a good job on his 'Velocity' pipes. The weight saving over the stock Aust/NZ/SA spec exhaust system (no built in cat converter) is exactly 5.1kg (11.2lb) and we had Sunstate Motorcycles install the same tune that is used for the Arrow twin pipe slip-on cans. A dyno run has...

A lot has been said about the flimsy crash bars and their propensity to crack the top bracket at the engine bolt fixing point. This is not surprising given the harmonic vibration that exists at the lower point of the crash bar where it floats in air beneath the motor. To understand what I am...

The first weekend aboard the brand new Speed Triple was spoiled by an excessively notchy gear lever action particularly when changing up when pressing on a little. I know I know, we're supposed to be running it in but it's a bit like being asked to hold back in the bedroom on yer weddin' night...

I brought this little beauty home on Friday to keep our Scrambler company. I've hankered after a Speed Triple for 15 years so what better to do than purchase the 15th Anniversary model. Luckily this weekend has been cloudless winter weather so I've now gone through two tanks of gas already and...

I took delivery of our new Scram late Thursday of last week. The next day being last Friday was spent hacking off some uneccessary frame bracketry and fitting more stuff to the brand new Scram. The dealer had already swapped the 'ironing board' for a more comfortable single seat, fitted the...
