I can watch that again and again.  It's delightful.

Always impressed when a manufacturer does tongue-in-cheek and the Rocket III is an awesome machine.  I would love to ride one but don't envisage ever purchasing one.

Talking of Triumphs (of which I own one) I found out today that a guy does a free software package for OBD for most of the triples.  Used to have to pay for TuneBoy, now can get TuneECU.  The techies on here would be interested in what can be done with these things - full re-mapping of the fuelling if you know what you're doing!

The English sense of humour is unbeatable isn't it? epitomised by the guy on the 'business end' of the emergency stop! :D ;D :y
