Introduction

[iboydtx]

hello everybody..... I've generally purchased new(er) bike with warranties, but I just got a 2015 Scrambler 900 with straight pipes. She sounds awesome....

I'm mechanically minded, but with zero motor bike experience. I hope to use this forum to fix/modify my bikes.

Originally from Belfast, but been in Texas for the last 30+ years

Welcome to TT from Eastern Canada as well.
The older 900 air cooled engines were pretty robust, so if your bike wasn't mistreated, then should have lots of good life in it.
Can't recall the last 900 Scrambler owner we had on here, but lots of the older Bonneville air cooled twin info on here.

Welcome from New Orleans. I have a 2007 900 scrambler that is my favorite Triumph so far (Also own a 1973 T140 and first Triumph was a 1953).

Howdy and welcome from from Houston! Always appreciate another tinkerer! I’m from Finland myself and just realized I’ve been a Texan for forty years! LoL. What part of Texas do you call home?

Appreciate the welcome.... she sounds amazing. I may get burned as she struggles to stay cool in the Texas heat.

I've lived all over Texas, but Austin has been my home for 14 years. I spent 6 years in Houston, Galleria area before kids and then the North West. What do you ride?

A 2005 modded Thruxton 900. It’s a continuous project. LoL.

She's beautiful.... Like all beauties, how's you back after being in the saddle for a while...

Strangely I have spinal stenosis and it seems to tolerate the forward lean fairly well. I haven’t done many over several hour trips, but the ones I have been okay.

I guess that's fortunate...

So far anyway. LoL. Unfortunately sometimes I just feel like I’m falling apart piece by piece.
