Scramblers

**AllanB** · 16th June 2014, 22:03

I remember the scramblers of my youth. Fun times fatting along the footpath etc.

Guess the Trumpy is the closest factory one around. DR misses out it that it looks too dirt. With the USA fashion crowd having thrashed choppers, bobbers and working on café racers now, maybe the scrambler will be next?

Anyway - I like them. Some examples to strain your undies over.

I am a big fan of them having owned a Triumph Scrambler.

The big advantage for my short arse is I can ride them. Most dirt bike seats are level with my nipples. mmmm nipples.

I also really like the tracker style. head on over to Bike EXIF: its where the cool shit lives.

Dave has done a review on the Triumph Scrambler.
They are a Bonnie Hybrid.

Page 1 of 1300 odd pages is found here, it starts with a review.

There are not many used Scramblers for sale...

We make our own low budget versions.

Back in the 70s, Ducati manufactured a scrambler based on the 250 Mk3 - I had a road bike version.

My very first bike was a Triumph Trials Cub... Not a scrambler, but not really a trials bike either. Great fun though.

Ariel made off-road bikes using the Red Hunter engine (although others used over-bored 350cc NH bottom ends). Sammy Miller's bike, GOV132, was a trials bike, but there was also the HS5 intended for scrambling.

I like the look, and have found that for an on/off road bike, a scrambler rather than a moto-x seems to transition better.

It's sweet. Made by (or at least, made with parts from) LSL in Germany. More pics here: http://www.clubman.de/php/start.php

More, off the right path. They go out a couple times a month, and get a damned good thrashing. My one (pictured) started life as a very bent GL145.

I'm a 5' 5.5'' gurl with a 32'' leg, ride a DRZ400.. bike is nowhere near my nipples, maybe you need to man up and learn to ride a bike without having to put both feet down at every intersection...

p.s my nipples are nowhere near my waist!
