New Guy wif a Scrambler

Thought I'd post after lurking for 8 months. This is my '06 Scrambler that I've done some minor stuff to. I reckon I've been riding it too much to get enough work done....I've got a tailight from Bellacorse (DANGER ZONE if you're on a budget! I want *quantity* one of everything) on the way, Metzeler Tourance on the back, thanks to the recommendations of this board, and have some other plans to slim it down and maybe kick up the HP a little. Meanwhile, I'll have loads of fun just riding year 'round. Hope it snows this year!




LOTS of great looking bikes on here...thanks for having me and helping out..even though you may not have known it.

Welcome Fatty! Thx for posting pix of that nice looking scrambler.
Can you resize your future pix to something a little more compact like 800x600 so we don't have to scroll all over the place. It's tough to scroll around from my laptop on my couch while rooting for the NY Giants to Beat the cowboys!

Nice Scram

I agree Hedge- post it SIZE it!! There are times I will pass on pisc that wont fit onthis POS. I hate computers & dont like to try to make them work better. They dont like me either! A mutual hate thing.

Sorry..I've resized them so hit refresh. I've got a fairly big monitor.

Sorry Jeff.... My condolences.

Fatass, did you leave some turn signals on your Scram or am I missing something?

We don't have unfenced yards like your's in California. If we did. I would be sorely tempted to leave a large divot in the grass as I took off up hill and then would deposit a lot of dirt on the hood of that car as I took off right on to the street.

I know...lived in Cali and Vegas.

I put some small bullets for rear turn signals and have some more coming for the fronts. A lot cleaner. Good eye!

BTW...plenty of divots. ****ed new tire...

Congratulations and welcome. It really is good that you ride more than wrench. Only after riding is it possible to know what to wrench.

Oh, and how did you get that Moniker registred? Is it pronounced Fa'tass?
