Hello from New Member

[John Bakker]

Hello everyone. Just introducing myself as a new member to the group. I am quite familiar with Triumphs as I am a CVMG member and had been restoring classic British bikes, including many Triumphs, for many years. The last Triumph I had in my collection was a red 1968 TR6 I recently gave up my Suzuki sport bike as my body could no longer be happy with the riding position. Naturally I looked towards Triumph for an alternative and had been eyeing the Street Scrambler for a few years now. In March I had an opportunity to ride one from a dealer in Florida and I was sold. I scored a great deal on a left over 2019 and take delivery next week, and yes, it is red too. Can hardly wait. Cheers. John

Hello and welcome to TT from the east coast
You're going to have a super time on that Scrambler
Have fun and be safe - and post some pictures of the new ride.

 

[John Bakker]

Thanks for the welcome Rocky. Saw a photo of your bike and wanted to ask who makes the small flyscreen you have on your bike? Have a good front view photo? Thanks.
Will post some pics of my new ride once I get off it long enough. Should have it next week. Meanwhile, here is a photo of the 1968 TR6 I restored and sold a few years ago.

The '68 TR6 is beautiful
The screen on my Bonneville is a Givi.
I don't have a good outside view of it, but I do have this one taken in my basement after I fitted it.

This is the only outside view I have. For a small screen, it's surprisingly effective.

 

[John Bakker]

Cool, thanks. Wonder if that will fit my new Scrambler? Does it direct the wind below your helmet level?
John

Welcome to TT from another Eastern Canuck.
Glad to have you with us.
You have some great riding in your neck of the woods. Perfect for a Scrambler

 

[John Bakker]

Thanks Qship. Rocky, any way you remember the model # on that Givi. I've done a search and can't find anything quite like it. Thanks. John

Welcome, from Northern California.

 

[Rocky]

This is the Givi.

 

[John Bakker]

Thanks Rocky, much appreciated. Saw your list of bikes and I too had a purple 1970 T100 Tiger as well as a '67 BSA Victor 441 Roadster...all long gone now. Can't keep them all somebody told me.
