Guess what turns up today?!

[White trash]

Ha ha ha, I'm in heaven!

It's got three Dodge Viper sized pistons, 240 section rear tyre and more torque than you can poke a stick at.

Wahoo!!! Where are the keys!

I'm off to do some Sportsbike slaying in the traffic light GP. :buggerd:

[jrandom]

Wheelie photos! Wheelie photos!

[duckman]

Heya WT,

I'm confused - Are these for your Gixxer or are we talking about another bike all together ?? :mellow:

[Darryboy]

Is it one of those Triumphs that was in the latest BRM?
The one with the 2.3L 3cyl?

Rocket III my man. Holy shit! I've almost got a woody just thinking about my first ride on it. Might have to have the video camera ready.

[White trash]

Just so we're all clear, I don't own one or anything. I'm just a lucky, lucky bastard. :)

Yeah, I goddamn hate my job. Get paid ggod money to stand around ride/talk/look at bikes all day. When I'm bored of that I read bike mags from all over the world and when I've had a gutsfull of that, I jump online and torment the car sales men of the world.

Shitty old life really. :shifty:

[MikeL]

Is that Rocket III pre-sold? You'd better be very careful...

[aff-man]

BASTARD :Pokey: :Pokey: . Hmmmm what qualification does one need to get a wicked ass job like that????? Oh and did you forget to mention the test riding of bikes :sweatdrop :laugh:

Got that covered. It's the bosses bike.

Drop out of high school at 15 do every minimum wage customer service job you can find and wait for the best bike shop in the world to have a job opening.

[aff-man]

Well then i have screwed that up already i am still at uni :doh: :crybaby: . Oh well i will just have to make lots and lots of money and buy a bikeshop :lol: . One can certainly dream aye :eyepoke:

[riffer]

Oh well, you make sure you run that Rocket in so its purring nicely for when Gary gets back mate.

grrr jealous.... :pinch:

[Quasievil]

Can you bring it to the rally so we can see it, would be cool if ya can ?

Great thought, but I'm going to have a hell of a job getting that weekend off, let alone borrowing a $32000 bike that they just *know* I'm gonna be an idiot on.

Ain't it a beast. Sports bike riders will be easy meat at the traffic light GP.
Have you done a dyno run on it yet?

[White trash]

You're not gonna believe this! Some wanker has just dropped a deposit on our demo bike! We don't have one anymore!

If I find out is was anyone from here, I'm gonna send my good mate Dave around. You wouldn't like Dave when he's angry.

Ahhh shit. Well done whoever got it, you've ruined my day and bought the most anticipated bike ever built. Lucky sod.

Oh well, back to beating up V-Rods on the weekends. :bash:

[MD]

Lucky lucky bastard !
Stall the Sod Whitetrash until some of us lesser folks can get a squiz at it. Tell him the battery takes 2 days to charge or something. probably does.
I'll be in tomorrow pretending to be a cash rich buyer for a test ride.

saw a Rocket III at AMPS today too.... man a 2300cc motor in a bike! that engine is bigger than most cars! But 140bhp, ermm Honda S2000's 2L 4cyl makes 250hp.

But look who am I to talk about a 2300cc bike when I ride a 250 :sweatdrop

S2000 doesn't weigh 300 kg's.
You grab one of those and I'll grab the Rocket and we'll go play in the traffic.

Hey Lou have you ridden it yet????

[LB]

I saw it Friday lunchtime. Man oh man, what a huge (as it squat and fat - a bit like me!!) bike. Not my personal cup of tea, but I can see it appealing to quite a few people.

True true. But I was meaning if u put the S2000 engine in that frame you'll get a "Honda Rice rocket 4", I wonder what speed a bike will get up to with 250hp :eek:

Plenty of (well, *some*, anyway) forced-induction modded bikes making 250bhp or more. Just wait for the inevitable Rocket III turbo projects.

The S2000 engine would be a bit big to fit in a bike frame, don't you think?

[vifferman]

The S2000 engine would be a bit big to fit in a bike frame, don't you think?Mebbe not.
The latest (?) incarnation of the Munch Mammut has a 2L turboed Mondeo engine in it, IIRC.

once you hit certain speeds it dont matter how much horsepower you have to an extent but the slipperyness of the design, a brick will only fall so fast but if you taper the back end it will fall alot faster etc

Ha-ha! counted you chickens prior to hatching WT? if we can't get a ride on one then neither should you!! - just kidding, get the next one, cane it's ass and give us you judgement.

Last 2.3litre I had was pretty damn slow!






- but then it WAS a mk1 Zephyr! :thud:

[White trash]

Couple of pics for us poor bastards that can't actually have one. :weep:

[Cajun]

donno why triumpy like the idea of bug eyes so much

[Lou Girardin]

Hey Lou have you ridden it yet????

Not yet, all the paying customers have been playing on it. I hope to get a wee squirt on Sat.
