Hi guys ------------ I look back at the '70s with a sense of RELIEF !!!----that they've gone, mainly !!...I have 2 big 1970's Hondas'..a CB750 Hondamatic and a GL1000 Goldwing, both with 12v electrics, electric start, disc brakes, spares readily available....BUT, I also have 2 Classic 500 Bullets, just to give me something to do....

I don't want Crusader to get too exercised by an image of a 2004 500cc Bullet being caned at full throttle in hot pursuit of a Triumph Rocket 3. This was not the case. The Rocket 3 chap and I were chatting, he bemoaning the weight of his behemoth and praising the Bullet, me saying it was a blast. He and his mate were cruising along at 55mph behind a truck, so I slipped briefly into third then fourth and wafted past, waving as you do. It was just a nice juxtapositioning of dated technology passing the world's most powerful production motorcycle, that is all, and a laugh.

hi sofia is it legal in scotland to blow a rocket 3 off oooer mrs!!i used to work for a company who distributed rocket 3,s +all others in the range and they were well heavy they came packed in a wooden crate with the front wheel removed and they used to make the forklift tip!!!all the rest of the triumph range were on steel stillages as were the enfields that we shipped for watsonian atb paul.

Hi Paul yes most things are legal in Scotland and our First Minister would be proud that an Enfield Bullet ripped past a Triumph Rocket 3, but I have a Velo Clubman and that hunts down Harleys for some reason - joking aside I have had 3 Triumphs, modern ones, and the Enfield is the best. I would happily get another, or three.
