Just bought a Scrambler from a mate and thought I best say hi before I start asking lots of stupid questions

.
Been riding a 1200GS for 9 years along with lots of other 2nd bikes which have all gone ............... apart from the GS of course.
Last Saturday I kept to my golden rule of never drinking before going on Ebay but I did text a mate after a couple of beers to follow up a rumour of a possible bike sale-doh!!!
So after collecting the bike in my van last Sunday
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
I finally got the Scrambler insured and taxed today and took it out for the first time ........ yes I bought it without test riding it but I've been out with the previous owner quite a few times so knew it was a good bike. What I didn't know was just how much stomp this engine has and I even stopped to make sure the speedo wasn't set to KPH

but no it was definately MPH
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
. So much grunt and also so many fast moving tree's, thank goodness that the wind blast gives some indication that the licence may be in danger.
I'm only 30 minutes away from NLM so better give the old girl an oil and filter change seeing as the mileage has just rolled over to 6K which is nothing for a 7 year old bike.
Anyway to you inmates.
Cheers-Tony
