Oakley Thursday Bike Night on the BSA Rocket Three (A75V) With Lots of Company

I was contacted recently by an old friend asking if I'd like to attend a bike night at Oakley Sports and Social Club that would feature BSA-Triumph triples. I didn't need to be asked twice so the Rocket Three went into action. Apparently the bike night is a weekly event on a Thursday all year long.
As requested by the community, I tried to capture plenty of road action.

Good day Angus. Great to see you out and about and feeling better. That view on your route home could have been an advert for BSA back in the day! Gorgeous!
God bless you and your family!

Thank you Mick - most kind.

[@alexanderpotts7308]

Loved it and the sound just took me back to the late 70's when those other triples were there

[@BSAPowerSet]

Cheers Alexander yea that was some resonance at times.

My friend had the exact same export model as yours' back in the late 80's. Much nicer looking than the Uk spec, although tbf all bikes were better looking dressed in the USA spec..

[@BSAPowerSet]

Cheers Richard thanks for the interest and comment. Couldn’t agree more regarding the more attractive US styling.

[@TheReverb1]

Hi; I prefer the sporty style that the UK and export models have. Plus; if you really ride the bike; wind is less problematic. I put about 10000km on the road per year at strong speeds so wind and cold are factors.

[@BSAPowerSet]

@@TheReverb1 Good point as styling has nothing to do with the practicalities of regular and longer distance riding. Thanks for the interest and comment.
