Scrambler ready for traveling

[Iceseven]

While not quite the same as Rhodie's superb Asian expedition I have been prepping the Scram for a trip from Estes Park, Colorado to the Grand Canyon. Went with a Spitfire windscreen, mono-saddlebag and tail bag setup.

I've been trippin' with a tall tank bag and it actually acts as a windscreen - check it out:

Nice Scrambler Ice! I actually love them but i can't justify getting a scrambler to the wife. I'm having a hard time right now filling in my gun collection quickly before the election. She just doesn't understand why a man needs more than one gun; "How many can you shoot at one time?"

Funny stuff Hedge!

Skid, looks like a good setup when traveling with a passenger.

Jesus Kevin, can you even see over that tank bag. Glad you and Elise made it back to NYC ok.

Get that gel seat yet?

 

[Skidplate865]

Next guy who mentions a gel seat or any other "make it more comfortable" option to my girl....Bam! right in the kisser! JK Yeah, the trip back was nice on Monday, but even nicer - we took a ride on Sunday afternoon - 9 east to 100, up past Mt. Snow and then 15 0r 20 miles on a dirt road - no houses or an civilization - back to rout 7. It was the coolest ride I've taken on the Scrambler! I'll post a pic when/if Elise downloads her camera...

Have to throw in a pic of mine! Here's a pic right after I lost my Cortech tank bag (with my camera and wallet in it- off the bike and down a cliff. Helluva fun time retrieving it).

Somewhere in Colorado or Utah

Jesus Vern, you're loaded for bear, is that a pillow I see?

 

[GuyM]

Mista Vern put some miles on that doggone Scrambler!

Jesus Vern, you're loaded for bear, is that a pillow I see?

No, that is a bike cover I found, and being a cheap guy, I couldn't just leave it there.

It was a trip from NW Oregon to Taos, NM last year - the Scrammy worked fine as a long distance bike!

Just got back, did around 1800 miles but had to break away from my two friends on their Harleys and do my own thing, their idea of fun was to go 90mph from spot to spot and take pictures the haul ass to the next so I split and spent most of the week exploring. Met some really cool people and found some great backroads.

ICE
That's one evocative pic Man.
Looking forward to more in a trip report.

Thanks Rhodie, got to say that the Scrambler did quite well for long trips.

Rode with a friend and his father-in-law on Harley's over trail ridge road in Rocky Mountain Park with spectacular scenery and a little snowfall which didn't stick, this road goes up and over the continental divide with a high elevation of 12,183ft then down towards Granby, Colorado.

Rode to Grand Junction, Co. then down through Utah past Moab then through Monument Valley.

I tired of following my friends at 90mph all over they place so I broke off in Kayenta Arizona and headed through Durango then Pagosa Springs then headed south through northern New Mexico.

Then on to Santa Fe New Mexico then worked my way back north exploring some incredible mountain roads along the way.

Passed through the Royal Gorge area in Canon City Colorado and rode across the highest suspension bridge in the world, this thing actually swayed in the wind.

Then worked my way back North towards home. What I really remember about a week on a bike was that once on my own and a less hurried time frame is actually when I began to really experience the ride.

I met so many friendly people, most were interested in the Triumph, others told me about local places to check out, there were interesting and funny characters along the way and that was the funnest part.

I love that pic of the storm clouds over the snow-capped mountains.

Nice ride report Ice, great pictures.

Yeah, that's like a tour group in Europe -"Off the bus! On the bus!" Man, I cannot believe you crossed that bridge! I get creeped out just lookin' at it. What balls you have. Great photos!

Holy shit that damn bridge is high. Great pics.:
