McDeeb Six Day Scrambler

When I first came across photos of this beautiful scrambler with the script "McDeeb" painted on the tank, I pictured a small company in the countryside of England, producing some classically-styled machines. After doing a bit of research and finally getting in contact with the owner, I realised how off the mark I was. Fabrizio Di Bella (AKA McDeeb) turns out to be an Italian with a penchant for Royal Enfields and classic motorcycles. Fabrizio has had an impressive career in the Italian motorcycle industry. "My career began as a motocross and road test-driver for some motorcycle magazines" Fabrizio says. "My technical background was formed mainly in R&D in the Kawasaki off-road and ATV's Italian branch". Then twelve years ago he got sick of working for 'the man' and decided to start his own garage and workshop which he called Classic Farm Motorcycles.

Triumph T100 Scrambler Video

This classic styled Triumph T100 Scrambler, commonly known as Jack Pine is no newcomer to the limelight. It was numero uno in BikeEXIF's Greatest Hits of 2010 — a combination of most hits and most comments. Now Hammarhead Industries have released this short video of their scrambler in action. So if you thought this Triumph was all show and no go, then you don't know Jack.

TPR Urban Scrambler

These Italian Urban Scramblers have been causing a stir on many Italian motorcycle sites. It's the first motorcycle designed by TPR Italian Factory - a new company started by Pietro Figini. Like many custom bike builders, Pietro Figini couldn't find a motorcycle on the Italian market that showed character, style and uniqueness, so he designed this urban scrambler hoping others would share his taste for classic bikes. Figini loves his English motorcycles, so decided to use a twin cylinder 800cc engine as a base, along with the Triumph Bonneville’s double crade chassis. The rest of the bike then went into production, taking inspiration from bikes mainly from the 1960’s. The Urban Scrambler is no show pony either, but also a performance bike, with work on the engine and fuel system resulting in a respectable 75 hp. We love this scrambler and can't wait to see TPR's Cafe Racer which is apparently in production. To view the whole spec list hit this link.

King of Cool - The Scrambler

For guys who really want to be like Steve, the Triumph Scrambler is the bike for you. You can even order a "278" number board, McQueen's entry when he raced in the 1964 International Six-Day Trials in East Germany. I have to be honest and say that I personally believe Steve McQueen is probably one of the coolest men to have walked this planet. And yes I love this modern take on the classic.

The Scrambler is based largely on the Bonneville T100 streeter. Although the suspension has been raised 2 inches over the Bonneville, for improved ground clearance. So you can take it off road onto dirt tracks but I am told its not the most comfortable ride.

I love that Triumph are still making these nostalgic bikes. I am not sure I would choose this over the Thruxton though. I think the Thruxton would perform much better, but as for cool factor this has McQueen's personal stamp of approval. What more could you ask for?
