    Evening all, great to join you, after taking the leap 12 years ago and finding my first brit bike, a 72 tiger 100 for peanuts at Rufforth auto jumble, I now have the best of both worlds..an '18 street scrambler and a 70 tiger 650 on the bench.. The roads in North Yorkshire are a real blast on the scrambler and it's up for its first MOT this month.You may think I'm crazy but I sold my Thruxton 1200 to get the scrambler which is just such an easy machine to handle, unfortunately the Thruxton killed my wrists,and back, but the scrambler is pure joy.Fitting a de-cat soon...
