Annoying!!
Valve cover now leaking, i can fix this no problem.
Both exhaust brackets fractured and had to be rewelded, on the Transamazonica.
Bear in mind the Scrambler has done only 20k miles but it is working real hard with all that wieght, several thousand miles off road and high altitude to very hot jungle tracks.
Having done similar trips with my R100GS we are having more fun on the Triumph and am delighted so far.
Am now in Paraguay heading south and looking forward to the rest of our trip. Andy and Maya
