Triumph Street Scrambler Is The Perfect Motorcycle For Almost Everything

Economical, efficient and fun. That is how motorcycling was largely accepted globally for the longest time before it went onto become one big giant industry catering to each discipline of leisure motorcycling like superbikes, adventure machines, dirt bikes, cruisers, etc. Back then there used to be one motorcycle, mainly a street bike, that people would buy and then turn it into something that best suited their tastes. Some would build a road-racer out of it, some would build a cruiser and some would build a scrambler. And then they would go out riding with their mates over different roads and at local races. One bike would do many things for many people. Take them to work every day, ferry their better halves around, as well as be a weekend racing machine. Roots of the scrambler culture date almost a century back to the late 1930s when the beach and dirt races were prime entertainment options for weekends and not multiplexes and malls. Recovering from the great depression, motorcycling was convenient and accessible to many. Those who wanted to go dirt riding around their neighbourhood trails and take part in local hill climbs, they would mostly build a custom scrambler out of their stock road-going motorcycles to go racing and fun-riding.
