Rocket III

Saw one in the proper colour parked up in Margate today so went to have a
squint.

****, they're big!

****, I want one!

Si

 

there for girls with big fat arses ya big poofy whoooos

 

What *is* this chap on about?

Si

 

Dunno. I think he's talking Pikey: English translation, anybody?

 

*Pat pat pat* There you go, you know it makes sense.

I know exactly what you mean though, but they're just so big and shiny...

Will Sir be purchasing the optional sissy bar with luggage rack and chromed
axle nut covers?

Si

 

You'll be waxing lyrically about Hardlys, next...

 

Nooooooooooo!

There was a moment of concern when that did cross my mind but...it's a
Trumpet, it's got a proper engine (well, 75% of one), and it doesn't look
like I made it in my shed with bits of old wheelbarrow and drainpipes. Oh,
and they're supposed to accelerate faster than an R1 to a ton, which does
scare me somewhat.

I saw one at the Pioneer Run.

That's exactly what I thought. Especially when you're standing on an
embankment and looking down on that hee-yooge tank.

That's exactly what I thought.....

 

We'll see.

the cont known as Pip says...

"I'm too scared to ride one"

 

petrolcan says...

Yeah, but you're a big poof.

 

But that has got to be on a dead straight road. Not the merest hint of
bend,bump or an form of undulation[1].

the cont known as Lozzo says...

Good point.

 

Apparently, according to some review I read in the distant past, they're
actually quite nimble, for something so lardy on paper.

 

Yeah, but you have more weight with which to take on any furniture that
happens to be sitting next to any bend you don't quite scrub enough speed
off for. ;-)

 

I would have thought there in the hardly go round corners mold. But
still a bike i would like a go on. Seems such a wide long bike but has a
very big road presence, sort of a get outta my ay i'm coming through style.

Saw one at a popular local bike stop end of last summer. The owner had
picked it up that morning and sat there staring at it with a look of
disbelief on his face. I asked him what it was like and got the one word
reply, "awesome". I left him in his world of wonder, thinking "yep, one
day, one day".

2.3ltr not quite big enough then.

 

My next bike that is... As soon as I get the sportsbike thing out of my
bloodtream.

 

They are fun. I got my grubby little hands on one for an afternoon.
