Was heading home from work when i come across a slow car up ahead. Come to a stop at an intersection and i see a line of cars already formed behind thanks to this ditz doing 70 At the back of the queue i see a single headlight Always good to see another bike out on the roads!

As we leave the intersection i pass the ditz and check the rear mirror to find this bike nailed to my ass I hold him up through a couple of nice corners as im getting hammered by the wind and windblast from trucks Come to a straight and the bike creeps past me and thats when i get to see and hear the beauty that is a BSA Rocket 3

He streaks away effortlessly through the corners the bike staying nailed to its line going much much faster than i was. I was amazed at how well it took the corners.


The closest image i could find to what i saw is this http://www.classicmotorcycles.org.uk...ket3_750cc.jpg
Except this bike was black and gold and looked (from what i saw) to be in mint condition. The 3 exhausts stacked on top of one another looked seriously cool. The only part that ruined the image was the fancy red shoei!

Nice, just goe's to show that you don't need a 150hp & fat tyres on the road. They sound soooo proper too.

No way...i cant hear you nanananana naaaaaaaaa

Triumph Hurricane,,,based on the T160 Trident.
Nothing on this earth sounds quiet like an older Brittish triple on song.
A guy was resently selling one on Trade me,,asking $50,000,,,,it sold with the buy now,,,lucky man had two others as well.

Pah! You ain't ever heard a '95 Yami 600 with a Scorpion pipe. Now there's a sound you wanna hear again and again. :--))
