    Hello everyone. I am a nudie here but not a nudie to riding. My first was a home-made motor bikes, then a Yamaha 80, a Yamaha 100, a Yamaha 200 ..... then the big jump to a 1969 Triumph 650 Bonneville in 1970. I also had a 1960 Bonneville and BSA along the way. Sold all when I needed money for college. Later in life I had Harley Low Riders and Sportsters. In 2013 I bought a Tiger 800. It ended up being the best bike I ever owned. I loved that bike. Traded it in recently for a 2021 Tiger 900. I also had a 2017 T120 that I kept on a farm near New Orleans. I traded it in on a new 2020 Scrambler 1200 XC last month. It and the Tiger 900 are my go to bikes for the next um teen years to come ... for now. I stumbled on this forum as I was looking for advice on raising the bars on my Scrambler a bit. I have a 2" Roxie off my T120 I traded in. It fit the T120 but the clutch handle was just a little tight. I will figure it out as I go. Peace Love and All good things. Now let's RIDE..

    Welcome to the family. Great intro and pictures. You will be accepted instantly here in the asylum as the inmates love pictures. Nursey recommends them as it keeps the inmates quite for a while.
