T'was indeed a good morning to be on two wheels! I've another (albeit rough) video from my first time on dirt with the scrammy >> Very nice. Didn't realise AZ had such roads. Dave

Just found this. Tremendous!

No worries. I just rode 1800 miles in 2 and a half days on mine. From Washington DC to Boulder Colorado. Not all of it was Interstate. Sheepskin arse pad and a 19 tooth sprocket helped. Plus the fly screen works if you are not tall. It's fine. Flies along at 85 all day if you have to...

What do YOU guys want if you could have it made? A really nice,slim left-side bag for the Scrambler that looks right.

the suicide shift is retarded too- but still, nice too see people being different D

To answer a few questions up front, the bike is under warranty for a few months more, it has 46,000 miles, and I keep the bike serviced. A head's up: the damage starts out as a crack in the powdercoat and the seam between the welds buckles slowly at first. I am posting this to suggest that...

boulder Are you guys near Boulder? I'm headed out there. Who's the best wrench there? Dave

LEAN and MEAN as F@#K! dave

sniffers Roy ( and all) related Q: Are the CO2 sniffer cables (or whatever they are called) on the EFI Arrow pipe meant to go under or over the carb manifold? Mine went under. Seems like a tight fit and a bit hot. Dave

I got home and covered 1683 miles in 27 hours.. >>> Fantastic. Did you do all that IB documentation stuff or just do it for fun? I may have a 1650 mile run to Boulder coming up and wondered about nailing 1000 in a day on the Scrambler. 750ish was my limit on the Bonnie or any other bike...

Does anyone have any suggestions? The dealer I bought the bike from is 2.5 hours from my home and I really don't want to go back if necessary. >> I just checked mine. Right pipe goes bottom. Phew. Asheville? Same bloke that put my Bonnie cams back in wrong no doubt ;( Hit and miss to say the...

I'm glad they are launching it. But I doubt a 3 cylinder, liquid cooled bike will exude the cool, rugged simplicity of the scrambler. D

T140 v Bonnie Iv'e owned and loved them both. It's the vibration over 70 that gets you on the 750. New Bonnies are way, way smoother. I've done long trips including cross- country on the new ones. Would have been a PITA on a Meriden Bonnie. It's not a Goldwing but it's a vast improvement at...

front suspension Thanks guys. Some options there. Oil Intiminators Progressive springs. Btw what IS the difference between Bonnie and Scrambler forks? Thanks, Dave

the black one seems like a better deal for the year/ miles / money http://www.northcitytriumph.co.uk/viewbike.asp?SP_ID=2026245&BRA_ID=5165# but its not going to match yer jacket. there is something to be said for buying from a dealer you like. good luck and welcome!

Quick update, going to test ride this on Sunday. A little more than I wanted to spend £4299 ($6500). 15000 miles 2006.>> Seems a little pricey for the miles. Enjoy. And maybe keep looking. Lower miles should be available. Don't buy a Bonnie! You will get hooked and be up all hours chatting...

Looks EFI but it's probably not EFI because it has a fuel tap. Not Norman Hyde because of the shape and badges. . Purple is not a stock colour for any year. A Thunderbird tank? Could be a modified stock one. Most likely. D

Like the original poster.... I am still waiting to hear about which shock set up people are using and have found enjoyable.>> Crickets..Crickets.. ;) I'm leaning towards YSS at the rear but still confused about how to fix the front without a "suspension shop" nearby. Dave 2010 Scram.

I'll finish tomorrow.......need to get done so I can have a good ride. LMT Looks good! I sold that swingarm (in a Thrux) to Chris when I had twins and needed cash. Damn them:) What are those shocks? Dave

thanks Mike . I really like the 270 motors vibe. Surprised how much. This bike has got quite a following. Amazing really, it's "just" a Bonnie with a different pipes and crank. Kudos to Triumph for spotting the potential. I honestly wasn't crazy about it when it first came out but it grew on...

These are a little raspier than the NH Togas. Togas are a tad deeper/ mellower. Not too loud. I had TORs and switched to Togas back in 02. Best sound of all IMHO is Staintune but $$$$. Mellow. Throbby. Bests Dave Btw TORs on a Thrux are nice . Confusing innit?

rallies There' been a New Bonnie Forum Rally at Deals Gap early May for the last eight years or so . It's now at Maggie Valley. I've missed it the last couple of years because of babies and whatnot. There's a smaller New Bonnie meet at Linville Falls in Sept...

seat/peg position? Bluntman. I agree. btw Im finding I'm catching my legs/ feet on the Scamblers pegs ( Bonnie was fine) Are they different or is the seat/ sitting position or something? Bests, Dave

stock seat Standard Bonnie seat, solo rack/ seat and Thruxton seats are all better than the standard scram seats IMHO. Had them all. D
