A few months back I was at my local Triumph dealer, and while I was there this Belgian dude rode up on a '06 Scrambler that was caked with dried mud all over it. It had a whole passel of those "McQueen World Trials Races" Triumph accessories on it, along with a couple of those metal "Ammo Box-type" saddlebags you often see on Beemer GS bikes, and a GPS bolted to the handlebars. It had the look as if it had been ridden around the world.

Turns out this guy has been all over the U.S. on his Scrambler this year touring the country. I walked over to take a look at his odometer and it read 36,000 miles.

(not bad for a two year old machine, huh?!)


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)
