    Always a bit of a classic triumph fan boy, and after a few days off roading in wales over Xmas on a bmw f800gsadventure realised it wasn’t the right bike or type of riding I enjoy anymore.
    So in new year I sold both my Kawasaki W800 cafe and my bmw and now have a Matt Green 900 Scrambler that’s already getting upgrades!

    so far (so basically this week) I’ve gone with …
    leather headlight X
    High colour coded mudguard
    Leather tank strap / fuel protector
    Quad lock charger
    Fly screen
    Atlas throttle lock
    Waxed canvas Tool bag
    Fox rear suspension

    It already came with
    triumph leather side bag and fixing, rear carrier, centre stand and the hand protectors.

    Feeling much prepared to start moto camping again now…as soon as the Brit weather warms up into a double figure!

    can’t wait!

    Greetings, @Team McQueen, and welcome to the forum. Thanks for the nice intro and also the photos of your new bike. It's a beauty! Cool that you've figured out what type of riding--and bikes--that you like these days and those that are "not so much" anymore.

    @Team McQueen Welcome to the family. Great intro and fab pictures. You can spend loads on these bike just to make it your own. But worth every penny.
