Howdy, this is Lemmy and Joe Zeno with Revzilla here to tell you today why a

scrambler isn't really a scrambler. Triumph just released their new

scrambler models. These are obviously a pretty big departure from their

But Joe, why do you give these guys sort of the riding resume?

Tell them why we have this old leaky piece of shit behind us and what you're doing up here.

I raced this 72 trial of TR6. You know as far as the term

scrambler goes you're thinking of something that races hair

But what does it ring in that just so these guys know exactly?

350 pounds. What are the reactions you get? what does it ring in that just so these guys know exactly what

feel my muscles and tell me I'm a hero and how strong I must be and all that

excellent so let's go now to the patron saint of scrambling.

I think Joe has a shrine at his house built to Mr. Steve McQueen, who raced bikes very similar

to Mr. Zito. I think we can both agree that all he did was

complain about the weight like after the big 650 trial he went to the husky

400 two-stroke because this bike you know for its time is incredibly like

230 pounds so this is a perfect bridge into the conversation that we started
