I really like the Triumph Scrambler. I don't think it has been selling really well. A couple of months ago ebay was filled with dealers trying to get rid of their 06 scramblers. I get bidding $5000 for them and I won a couple but it was under the reserve price. Oh well I guess I wasn't meant to have one.

ORIGINAL: pococj

I once had a 1967 Norton P-11 Scrambler. Thing had a rear sprocket dang near as big as the rim. It was a freakin' beast! Might've topped out at 80 mph with the gearing, but it did that 0 to 80 in about 3.267 milliseconds!

Kidding aside, when I could keep it running without shaking the electrics to death, it was a blast. We'd take it out the some dunes near Va Beach where a buncha guys rode their li'l "sissy" 2 stroke dirt bikes. Got some strange looks when we unloaded the beast. I'd let some of the dirt guys take it for a spin and they'd roll back in with the biggest ol' grin on their faces.

It wouldn't have beat any of the hot 2 strokes "real" dirt bikes 'cause it was way heavy, and almost impossible to handle. But it just flat out was a blast to try and ride. That 750's low end grunt would like to rip your arms off if it got hooked up good.
Ever hear of Mike Patrick? 1968? Kalifornia desert?

Nope.

Never was into dirt, except by accident.

Who was he?
