PHILinFRANCE Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 It had to happen, I bought this Ducati "Scrambler " a couple of years back and honestly love it , done some light green lanes but the time came to do it proper !!! I'm lucky enough to live within spitting distance of the Pyrenees and plenty of TET routes. Home is the blue spot and I planned on a anti clockwise route round Toulouse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILinFRANCE Posted June 14 Author Share Posted June 14 Gotta admit at a combined weight of over 300kg I was a tad apprehensive but I'm a tad nuts so went in full guns and the great white lump just gobbled up mud , rocks , logs , massive ruts and long gravel climbs. Before this little bimble I was seriously thinking of chopping it in for a CF450MT, but not now , just need to fettle a few thing like the suspension and the gear shifter, needs a flexible tip.
