He feels the front brake lacks bite, so some different pads or maybe even twin discs are on his shopping list.
There are things, however, which race car engineer Gary would change. Quizzed on what he loves about his silver machine he picks out the styling, easy weight and not too aggressive riding position. “I’d sold my GSX-R and was looking for less power, less weight and something different.” CCM’s Spitfire was on the radar, but in the end he went for the Ducati. “I bought the Scrambler as I wanted something to slow me down,” he says. Gary’s fairly new to the Scrambler but not to biking, having started off in motocross as a kid, passing his test in 2002 and with a CV including a Kawasaki ZXR400, Suzuki GSX-R750 and an Aprilia RS250. We’ve ridden over from the MCN offices it’s the first time I’ve seen another CR in my mirrors and I have to say that Gary’s bike looks damn fine. Membership is global, but now and then you come across riders who are local.Īnd so it is that I am sitting down over a cheese sarnie at a country pub with Café Racer owner, Gary Davies.
One of the cool things about niche bikes like the Ducati Scrambler Café Racer is that owners tend to be real enthusiasts and there are a couple of really active Facebook groups where the Scrambleristi show off mods, share tips and discuss plans.
