And any Tolkien fans suggesting that Triumph intended for it to be referred to as the 'Rocket Eleventy-One' will be summarily beaten over the head with a dead chicken.

[Milky]

[TwoSeven]

:killingme Fuckin' cabbages.

That's not all they scooped, Nash has already totalled one. Seems they dont go 'round corners quite as well as the SV huh, Nash?

Maybe it should have a warning sticker on the "tank"-Drag Strips Only! :scooter:

Bet they were scared to let Vege and Stretch near it,it'd end up with knobs in Woodhill and Stretch doing sideways action for the camera.

OW OW OW OW OW OW OW

One wonders if Triumph have really thought this through - I thought we'd done away with the whole John Wayne walk at the end of the 60s....

Yo

Ahhhh,so it was true after all,
Oh dear :o :shutup:

[Bob]

Aw fer cryin' out loud!

It would have taken all of, oh, two seconds work to realise ALL Triumph names (with the exception of the TT600 - and that flopped) are taken from models from the company's original existance.

Of course, the original Rocket III was a BSA, but it all ended up as Triumph.

(I've got some photos of one at home - it is still being used to haul a sidecar!)

This is almost as bad as why the film "The Madness of King George" didn't have his number in the title. It should have been "The Madness of King George III", but they were worried the Merkins would think they'd missed the first two and not go to see it!

And I am NOT making this up!

I was waiting for Nash's road test report on the rocket3 but it never mde a mention, maybe next month.

Yeah-yeah, we all KNOW it's a Rocket one-one-one so you can remember what number to call when its crashed/shat itself and you need a taxi :rolleyes: :Pokey: :bleh:

And then there are the reporters/proof-readers/publishers who don't know the difference between Roman numerals and ordinary numbers, leading to such schoolboy howlers as the Triumph 111 and World War 11 (I don't seem to recollect World Wars 3 through 11 for some reason...).

Also KiwiRider magazine desperately needs a sub-editor. The photo captions in the latest issue's story about the FJR1300 are real cringe material. Obviously nobody read this before it was printed.

For a small fee (with maybe the odd test ride thrown it) the Hitcher household would gladly assist the publishers. Prompt turnaround and a keen eye for detail guaranteed...

[Storm]

Give that man there the job ! :not:

But if you were doing that, when would you find time to post on here?

Time is merely an abstraction. It is non-linear. "Feel the force, Luke."

Awww, we've been doing better lately, but yes McKay is aware and 'plans are afoot'. FWIW it's having a 'workover' in the next few editions.
The ed would probably like to be aware of your offer:

Give Hitcher the job - or all KB'ers will boycott the mag. Oh and a free subscription wouldn't go a miss. :yeah:

[Blakamin]

I boycott it already... too much "dirt bike" for me...
and BMWs... what is with that???
(I now know why triumphs feature all the time too, Big Dave...)

[Hitcher]

Depends if it went amiss first...

[Big Dave]

(I now know why triumphs feature all the time too, Big Dave...)

And the fact that Triumph make the bikes readily available. FWIW I have done Honda, Ducati and Suzuki articles too.

Apparently the new Daytona 650 was assembled yesterday so I'll be out for a blat on that shortly too.

You'll read it here first.
