- Is the Triumph Scrambler 400x good for 1st time riders? New Rider review of the Triumph Scrambler 400x from someone new to motorcycling.
Please dear Lord keep our father Dave safe and all around him. Lay your hands on him and his bike and keep him safe! Love you Father Dave AMEN!
Amen
Father Dave A very nice MC. Please be careful. Prayers for safe travels. Thank You For Prayers. God Bless.
Just sold my 1972 Honda 350 Scrambler. Rode it almost every day. Much fun but when I turned 70 it was time to say goodbye. My wife was shocked. She thought she would go first.
Be safe and may Heaven’s Angels ride with you.

God bless you Father Dave and keep you safe riding your first, new red Triumph motorcycle 🙏🇺🇲😇
Thanks Claire!
Enjoy!! My husband got his Harley at 50. Now I’m praying he will sell it at 77!!! No luck so far.
HAHAHA! I can see this 2 wheel thing sticking around for quite a while. God bless you Linda and your Mister
😂😂
Stay safe Father Dave. So happy for you.
Nothing better than seeing a long haired priest beaming while talking about his new motorcycle as Dancing Queen is playing in the back ground - LOL!!!.....I will give you my fathers advice when I was 17 and started learning to drive - "Drive like everyone is crazy"....It was good advice Father Dave!....God bless you, and keep you safe!
It’s a beautiful Bike ♥️ My God Bless you and Keep you ✨ Prayers for all those who gave their life’s for ours 🙏🏽🇺🇸
Thanks Suzie. God bless you too
I started with small bikes also. 1975 Honda CB125 and 1978 CB400. Wet leaves and wet brick streets, sand and gravel got my respect real quick! Stress on neck and arms can be distracting and dangerous! 50 years of experience in two sentences! Be safe friend, your message is impactful for so many of us! Ken
I'm 77 and ride Bikes for more than 60 Years.
Bought also a Scrambler 400x in March. Now near 4.000 Kilometers and love it more than all Bikes I had before. A very good decision! 👌😁
Happy trails, Father Dave!
thanks djcmrc57!
Welcome to the cycling community!!! Got my cycle license at age 58. Took the MSF beginner and Intermediate classes. My first bike was a used Yamaha Virago 250. Now I own a Kawasaki Vulcan S 650. 12,000. miles later I have to say that the Kawasaki has been an excellent fit for my height as well as my riding ability. My husband has been riding for close to 50 years' he has a couple of Motoguzzis and a BMW. We enjoy taking extended day trips roughly 150 -200 miles round trip. Regarding your cramped throttle hand, purchase a 'Cramp Buster" it's a $12.00 item that easily slips over the throttle handle. Happy Riding!!!
Outstanding Holly. Thanks for the suggestion. Have an order for a pair. Sounds like I'm following in your (tire tacks?) footprints. the Vulcan is a cruiser style? Your husband may dig Nick Adams audiobooks if he's an audio guy. He loves old moto guzzis. Extended day trip later this month. Have to build up stamina in small muscles that haven't been worked like this before. Loving it
Happy for you Fr Dave, God bless you always
Thanks so much Ruth. God bless you too
Wow!Fr.Dave.Have a blast- God bless you.Safe riding.Nice sharing.
Hi my name is Jake and I actually live in the area where you are located and attend the same church, I also just got my motorcycle license recently and got a Triumph Speed 400 as well. I am in love with the bike and it works amazing!
Congratulations on your new ride... don't forget to get a side car and goggles for Cragley
Nice bike Father Dave. Stay safe out there. If you haven’t found them yet, you may enjoy the trips the 2lanelife guys take all over the country on their touring bikes. There are some really good motorcycle vloggers out there. Take care and keep the shiny side up!!
Enjoy your bike father praying for your safety my husband had a Harley the love of riding never left his heart now his grandson has one he is a proud marine father you bring something different to the priesthood you make it warm and real thank you
Motorcycles are so much Fun.
My brother currently has 2 Harley Davidson's.
He, in his younger years, raced motorcross,a susuki, in the desert ( we grew up in Southern California) and took his little sister sometimes, taught me a bit fun fun fun.
He has always had a bike since then, 20's to now 75.
He takes his Harley with friends and does the Run for the Wall in D.C. He is a Vietnam Veteran.
Enjoy your bike for many years Father Dave!
Be careful
God be with you😊
Fr. Dave have good time on your new motor cycle. Be safe. You Rock .❤
So happy for you! Jim and I have been riding since we were teenagers. Glad to see you wearing the appropriate gear. Love the red tank. May the Lord keep you safe and enjoy the ride!
Ride carefully, Father Dave. I'm so happy to see you so excited. God is watching over you.
Father Dave, excellent choice in a starter bike, I state this with the background of 55+ years of writing 18 motorcycle later. One of the biggest thing I learned about riding motorcycles on the road because you’re always driving offensive and defensive at the same time. Stay safe God bless.
thanks Case. Would football be a good analogy then? you need to have a good offence and defense? Really enjoying riding back roads. no highway attempts yet -and meeting up at a diner with 2 priest friends who also ride ... priceless
You should see how happy you look way to go
it's true... instant smile
Triumphs are awesome also...Good bikes and what a nice tribute to your dad!! Congrats!
Gorgeous bike, Father. Congratulations 🎉Have fun and please be safe.
Father, most excellent! First time I’ve seen one of your videos. I will subscribe. From an old alter boy here.
Congratulations!! Have fun and be safe
It's the freest feeling in the world, Fr Dave! Good for you!
The Bikers Prayer 🙏🏻 🏍️
May the sun rise in front of me, the rain fall behind me and the wind follow me. May the Angels guard my travels for they know what is ahead of me. Keep me safe through rolling hills and swirling turns. Let the Eagle guide me to the mountain tops, let the moon’s light guide me through the night. Lord, thank you for letting me be a biker.
Safe and memorable travels, Fr Dave

Congratulations, Father Dave! Praying for your safety as you ride. Enjoy!
Gorgeous bike! God bless and may he protect you on the roads during your beautiful rides!
Be safe out there Father Dave. Beautiful bike lotsa luck!!
Oh my gosh Father Dave, how awesome!!
I am so happy for you.
Enjoy and have fun with your motorcycle....and stay safe
🙏💖🙏
Be safe Father Dave
Thanks Aviation (I secretly think of this bike as my own personal airplane). I wear all the gear and don't drive crazy
thanks for the great video! I'm 41, 6'2", and thinking about this for my first bike (its one of few choices that fits me very well at my height).
it was great to see someone else in a similar situation of similar height having a good time with it!
keep rocking and stay safe Father Dave!
God Bless you!
Beautiful bike Fr. Dave. Best wishes.
Video Popped out on RUclips recommendation and happen to know this channel.
I wish you a pleasant days with your Scrambler 400X. I wished to buy the same model for my first motobike, but the model is yet on sale for my country. So I decided to stay with Royal Enfield 350cc model. I'm satisfied with the model, but is looking forward to give it a try with Scrambler 400X.
I'm wishing your safe journeys with the bike.
Looking forward to your journeys on the bike (And also gone through some of your mass videos and they were nice! 🙏)

God bless you Father Dave… enjoy the new ride. You are absolutely right about being a new rider. It all feels a little foreign until it becomes second nature.
Welcome to the MC family brother!
Happy trails Father Dave! There’s nothing better than the freedom of your bike! I grew up around dirt bikes(and may I say the boys that rode them?) I agree, sidecar for the Cragster! Thats the only thing that’s missing. Oh yeah, watch out for those bumblebees I had one get up in my helmet once! Not fun. Be safe,Enjoy, you very much deserve this! 🙏🏽❤️🏍️
Fr. Dave you'll be just fine and don't fret so much. I grew up driving a Vespa and then a 500 Honda for my first bike. Keep on truckin
Hi Father Dave! I love watching your masses! I sold a Triumph Rocket 3....im 61 and been riding since my teens ..thats a great looking bike and excellent first choice! Ive been very lucky never to have been in an accident...i say a prayer every time and so far thats my REAL credit..to God! Be safe and enjoy! PS.. I personally amd proudly have NEVER owned a Harley...a LOT of owners look down on all non Harleys ..2 wheels is 2 wheels...that Triumph will ALWAYS be more dependable than anything out of Milwaukee!Be safe! 😎
So wonderful to see you with such joy! Thanks for inspiring us! Amazing to see a priest having fun! Thank you for sharing the event with us!!!
You are so welcome!
Wow Father Dave congrats on the nice bike, enjoy it well!!!!
Great video! I am looking to get one of these. I have ridden M/C's of almost every brand and did some amateur roadracing. There is a satisfaction in getting all you can out of a small bike! (My forever bike is a Yamaha TW200) My latest bike before that was an Indian FTR1200S. Be safe, and good luck!
Enjoy your new ride. May God keep you safe.
Nice ride - Triumph - good choice :) Enjoy the rides! Looks like you're in a nice area there.
Pretty cool bike , Father Dave
Enjoy , be safe ! Nice color
Looks like fun.... I rode for many years, year round when I lived in Cali.... not well enough now to ride but I still have my MC endorsement... stay safe, it is the other guy you have to worry about when on a motorcycle...
Everybody off the road! Fr. Dave has a motorcycle...
I’ve had over 50 motorcycles Father and I can’t wait to buy a Speed 400…..keep a sharp eye out at intersections and driveways….God Bless You!
Safe travelling Father Dave
Thanks Mister RSG
🎉 congratulations on your motorcycle endorsement and first bike!🎉 mine was a Honda phantom 150 in Singapore, where I learned. I’m excited to hear the homilies you create during your rides with Jesus as your pillion… (no cleaning off Doritos bags from His seat required)
That is so cool I never knew that they came out with a BMW motorcycle 🏍️
My husband rides a Harley-Davidson and he absolutely loves it. Stay safe Father Dave 🙏
I see a sidecar for Cragley in the future. Nice to know that Priests have mid life crises too LOL . All you need now is a Viking helmet but not with horns .
hahahah. i love your comment. Awesome. Have a great weekend. God bless you
Way to go Father Dave !! You ROCK !! Love the motorcycle. Sounds like it runs & shifts smooth.
I've been riding motorcycles since 1985. I own a 2010 GOLDWING. Excellent for long distance trips, only twice the weight. I'm sure you know this, but 2 things I've learned thru the years. When you ride on the streets, You have to make the "mentality" that: (1) Everybody NOT on 2-wheels is a 'Potential Assassin" (2) You ride as if you have 'NO RIGHTS' on the highways. These two attitudes will keep you safer when riding.
One thing more, before taking on many "LONG" trips, you might want to consider a little sporty windscreen (windshield) to protect your upper body from kicked up road debris, small hailstorm, stinging rain drops when encountering those quick "ride through" rain showers.
God Bless you and keep you safe out there. Maybe will see you on the ribbons of gray. Until then, "Two fingers down."

Hello father Dave, such a good choice for your first bike, I have had so many bikes over the years but I can't wait to ride one of these, I'm leaning more towards the street single though, these bikes are awesome no matter how long we have been riding 👍😎😁
Thanks Randy. Do you mean the Triumph Street Triple? Or the Speed 400? I can see the helpfulness of fairings and automatic blinker shut offs. but there's a joy in this bike's simplicity too. Its fun to begin to wrench on it. something my fad started us on on cars back before they became so computerized
Go Father Dave, get your motor running, head on down the highway. Be safe and God bless
thanks Janet
Congratulations 🎉.God bless this country .
Keep safe. I hope you are able to visit us here in Canada. Nova Scotia is a beautiful province with wonderful roads to ride on.
Good luck with the new motorcycle, Father. Have fun.
Thanks so much Al
Father Dave. Nice MC. Please Be Careful. Prayers For Safe Travels. Thank You For Prayers. God Bless.
thanks Landon. Gos bless you too
Wishing you many miles of happy and SAFE travel🌈🙏🐶
My first car was a 1988 Chevy Monty Carlo SS, I miss that car all the time! 2 finger breaking is a bad habitat, don't do that. All the fingers on or off. Otherwise you end up crushing your fingers, unable to fully break and reving the throttle all at the same time in a panic stop because of bad muscle memory. God bless enjoy, hope to join you for a ride some day
Happy trails.
Have fun and stay safe!
I swear I was hearing ABBA in the background when you were talking 😂
Congratulations! Please BE SAFE! I am a BICYCLIST so I can relate a little! Also, my first car was a Ford Escort!! Please pray for my family as we resolve our parents' estate.
Happy trails 😊❤
Be safe! Always wear your helmet!! Glad you can enjoy your free time
Need a side car for Cragly :)
Father Dave. That's a pretty good motorcycle. I've been riding for a really long time , Royal Enfield's especially. But this is a good motor for a beginner.
Have a great ride, Peace🙂 Nice bike, be safe, enjoy. No wheelies yet LOL
Enjoy your new bike but please be careful!😘🙏🏻🇺🇸
Soooo, Cooool Father Dave Dear Lord, keep our Shepherd safe at all times. His flock needs him.
❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful bike, be safe! Watch out for the other guy!
Wishing you many hours of fun and safety on your new toy!
May the good Lord guide you on the roads!
And while on the bike may HE inspire and rejuvenate you to continue to ROCK those who love and follow you!
Always thought those were some good looking bikes. Enjoy.
Hello from England, great review... really looking at this one... which helmet do you have, looks good?
Please stay safe Fr. Dave... and drive/ride defensively.
Safe Riding !!!
Yea Father Dave. Enjoy...Be smart. Thank you for all you do.
thanks David. I had some good teachers and friends who ride safe.
Fr Dave, A 400 will get you where you want to go. I road California to NY on a KZ 400 1975.
Awesome re Nova Scotia check out the Cabot trail in Cape Breton father. You tube motorcycles on Cabot trail you won’t be disappointed. Nice to see you so passionate re your new motorcycle. Enjoy and be safe. Hehe!!!!!M!
Always remember and never forget; heaven side up, rubber side down! Peace be with you!
Be careful Father Dave. Cragley needs you.
P.S. Have you ever seen Bear Woznick Long Ride Home? EWTN. Maybe you can ride with Father Mark Goring, CC. God keep you safe 🙏🏻🐕🦺🍕
Looking forward to another visit to St. Martha’s
Be careful out there Father Dave. Been riding for 40 yrs and have never seen it this crazy
Be safe Father. We need you more than you need to ride. 😊
Be careful out there Fr. Dave.
Have fun Father Dave but be safe! Now you need a side car for Cragley 😂
Tell me when your ready to go to Alaska....Moose, Loretta, Craggley and I will ride in the Majestic Mountaineer Mobile together. You can drive your bike! Boone dock on way there. I want to hit the 8 national parks there. SC is also a short small little practice trip for u....be careful and safe, where that hat! Have fun!
May God’s angel ride with you and enjoy your new ride
I'm gonna be 78 yrs old this summer.....been riding dirt/some street for 65 years. Learner bikes: 650 Triumph and YZ400....don't do that....pretty steep learning curve. Cruise control on bikes = organ donor. Good luck....get a dirt bike and it will teach you valuable lessons that will keep you alive. 400 cc does not keep up with highway traffic....watch for little old blue-haired ladies in Cadillacs at intersections...... Wear helmet always unless you're tighter with the Lord then I am...... I watch your Mass every week and also your channel. Good luck, Tom
where did you get the luggage add ons ?
May the Lord keep you safe with your guardian angel always at your side.
Amen. that's one of the prayers (Angel of God prayer) I say before mounting up
@@FatherDave A few years back, this mamma bear had to give my anxiety and fear to the Lord when my eldest daughter (5'3"-110 lbs) was riding a Ducati around San Francisco ❤️
Careful careful 🙏
Keep the shiny side up🙏
Stay safe!
Ride on!
thanks Arizona! hope to hit your state one day (but probably on a bike more suited for long highways)
fFr Dave, you need a side car for Craggily .
