    Scrambler 1200XE from the mountains of Colorado here!

    I treat my ride as a Naked ADV bike every chance I get. Ditched my BMW F800GS ADV for this bike and haven't looked back. Such a better bike on the road, and in the dirt. Riding the Colorado Backcountry Discovery Route with it in August. https://ridebdr.com/cobdr/

    Current mods:

    ROX 2" risers
    TEC 2-1 Flank exhaust (not pictured)
    TKC 80 front/Shinko 805 rear(not pictured)
    Barkbusters
    Giantloop handlebar bag
    Pivot Pegz
    tail tidy
    OEM mirrors eliminated (4+lbs eliminated off bike)
    various soft luggage

    To come:
    custom header
    custom skid plate
    custom crash bar
    custom fairing/GPS mount

    Welcome,
    I have a buddy in Pueblo, can’t be more than a million miles from you.
    On this forum, those type bikes are known as a TWAT?
    Cheers,Ken.

    Hi again, DomEOD,
    I thought someone might have expanded on the TWAT.
    As they haven’t, here goes.
    I think it was member BonnieCat that coined the phrase Two Wheel All Terrain = T.W.A.T.
    And dilligaf owns the original one.
    Ken.

    Greetings and welcome to the forum, Dom! Beautiful bike and beautiful photos! :)I live in Arizona and ride up into Colorado at every chance--usually in the summer when the weather cooperates. ;):cool: Looking forward to learning more about you and your Scrambler and seeing more great photos, too.

    I'm in Kentucky but consider myself a Coloradan that's left the state, soon to collapse from one party rule. Moved away after 65 years, not the same CO from back when. Just purchased a new Tiger 900 Rally Pro. Slight chance of riding to CO this summer. Sold the family home in Lakewood.
