Rocket III's and their riders

#1 Post by MartDude » Tue Jun 23, 2015 4:31 pm

Is there such a thing as a skinny, or even average-sized, Rocket III rider? I've never seen one. This impression was borne out by seeing yet another stereotypically fat bastard on a Rocket III when Squid & I stopped for a break in Derby, on the way back from Jay's Mid-year Meet. He must have needed all those 2,300 c.c. to shift his massive beer gut.

.... surprised we haven't got a few on here then!

Perhaps those of us of ample girth prefer to live in denial and shun those (Hinkley) Rocket 3 abominations.

Wouldn't mine a real Rocket 3 though .... in a Rob North frame ....

Andy, you are positively sylph-like in comparison to the lard-belly we saw on Sunday.

I know I'm no oil painting but he was also stereotypically fucking ugly.
Those Triumph dealers certainly know their market.

'And what model of Rocket III is sir interested in? You fat ugly bastard.'
