Triumph Motorcycles! How they build the Rocket III…

My last Triumph …brand new with a couple of hundred miles on the clock…(RAF Brawdy 1978)…Tiger 750 😀
Also including a nice collection of Airmens ‘classic’ heaps in the car park beyond LOL

My kind of Triumph…..

Of course the real Rocket 3 was a BSA – although the Triumph T160 Trident was lovely 😀
Great to see the triumph name surviving 😀

Beat me to it. Used to ride a Super Rocket fitted with high comp heads TT carbs and racing clutch…………………………………………as a pillion rider.

Up until the first 30+ seconds I thought it was serious. Apparantly not. LOL! They’re a good bunch and I’m glad Triumph have come back with a vengeance.

I popped into the Triumph Dealership here in Newcastle yesterday just for a look around. There was one of the older spec versions of the Rocket III and I asked one of the guys if I could try it for size, sure he said… I could get on it and even at 5’11” it was way too big for me. It really is a huge motorbike, and with a 2.3 litre engine which has mountains of torque, very intimidating. The 2013 spec models are actually designed so people can fit on them. 🙂

I’d love this though:

What was that, Harley Davidson? I don’t hear you!…

A friend of mine works there,it’s all true 🙂
