Hey there! Thanks for the welcome!Hello and welcome to TT from chilly Canada
I realy like the scrambler but im very long in the leg and just look stupid on one 
i had thought about seeing if there was any kind of jack up kit avalable for one , but even then i think it wouldn't be enough as my tiger is very tall and i can plant both feet flat on the floor and they dont come much taller than a tiger 955i .

Ah well at least you have the tiger! I've never thought of the problem being the other way around since there are so many bikes that are too tall for me to ride in traffic or in technical sections!I realy like the scrambler but im very long in the leg and just look stupid on one
Welcome to the forum and I know you have some stunning road to take that bike your side so we will be looking forward to a few nice road reports from you.

Welcome, cave-man, from the San Francisco Bay area.
Welcome to TT from another frozen Canuck.
Nice Scrambler for sure.
Glad you have lots of great roads(and not so great roads) to enjoy your ride.
Just what the Scrambler was made for.

Thanks Greyfell, good to be here! If i may ask, how come people from San Francisco Bay add "the" and "area" making it "the San Francisco Bay area."? I mean I only know a grand total of like 3 people from there but enough to get me wondering.

Thanks Man, appreciate it! Definitely going to make sure I take advantage of the scenery haha.
Well, nearly everybody knows about San Francisco, and San Francisco Bay. But there are over 40 cities surrounding the bay, and most of us would not want to live in San Francisco, even if we could afford it
. And, too, people outside of this area would not know what part of California I was talking about if I said I was from Concord, Danville, Millbrae or Fremont, etc. So, we get in the habit of identifying the geographic entity that everyone will recognize, and infer that we live very close to that entity. In my case, I live 25 mile away from San Francisco, in the town of Pleasant Hill.Does that help clear your confusion? (I do tend to wordiness, now and then
)
