You had me fooled, Larry.  It looks nothing like a Scrambler.  Sounds like 
an expensive exercise.

Wrong-O old buddy, old pal. It is not a factory "do-over".

It is a custom rebuild of a 05 - 08 Triumph Scrambler. They are built by a 
friend of mine here in Philadelphia. They take a modern bike and remake them 
to look and feel like the old ones James grew up with. The goal is to 
recreate the look and feel of the 60-70's Triumphs but get the modern 
reliability.

THis one is called the Jack Pine.

FWIW, I prolly won't own a bike any more (I had a Choppered Bonny in the 
70's) but this is one fine ride. I loved it. He also builds (well has a 
prototype) of an all electric bike. Fast, but strictly for city commuting.
