They had Triumphs!!!! The new grey and silver America, not one but Two Scramblers!
Adey please read no futher
The Scrambler is even Uglier in person. It sit too high
the seat feels hard and the cloth looks like it out of a 67 Rambler the pipes are just ugly but thats not the point
My Triumph store has Triumphs!!!

Rode the demo Scrambler last weekend, AI removed. Lots-o-snot on the low end. Just like the T100, it is what it is, a fun bike to bomb around the countryside on. Makes an old man like me feel like a punk again ! I'll grant you that the original was much more appealing to look at.
I used to have a handle on life, but it broke .

They must have just come in, bet they're all sold by now. It's a curse to like a bike that sells as fast as they can make them.

Wow, I guess that's cool, but judging by the title, I thought you got good service at one!

Sorry Chris,
Disagree wit' cha ol' buddy. Saw one of the new Scramblers at the local shop right after it was preped for delivery a few weeks back. The owner of the dealership says to me, "Why don't cha take it around the block and get that new oil worked in."
So, I threw my 33in inseam Levi'ed leg over that nice flat comfortable seat(sits up just right for me) and did indeed work that there new oil around inside those cases of that nice lookin' retro do-it-all bike.
COOL BIKE, Bro!
(And...OH MOMMA!!! I also saw the beautiful new 675 Triple sportbikes there too, in both those Graphite Grey and Scorched Yellow[gold] colors)
Cheers,
Dwight
(Re: the Scrambler...I guess it's a "era thing"...I'm old enough to remember that era when the coolest bikes out there had raised pipes like the TR6C, the BSA Firebird, and the Honda CL series)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
