I think I figured out a way to describe how a Rocket III sounds

[albertaduke]

mine with jardine definitively sound like a john deere on steroids therefore i painted it green but the best sounding roadster is this one

I have been looking into doing my R3T in a shade of BRG. The one I like is darker and somewhat metallic. Tried,to upload and it would not go. May have to rename and post as I posted it back last year.

R U going to put a JD emblem on the tank?[/QUOTE]
do not think so there is one on the side cover
actually the story is I wanted BRG the paint store prepared the paint color on the computer in the back of the store , took it to the paint shop the paint shop just applied and lo and behold i ended up with JD color I went back to the store they claim no responsibility with paint not exactly same as sample .so Now i have a JD special , surely people will talk in montrose

Sounds exactly like half a straight 6 Jag.

I've seen a 4.2 over bored to 4.6 race - exactly twice an R3.

I miss my E-Type sometimes.

It sounds just like a British beast should sound like.

Sit or stand erect.
Tip head up towards ceiling or sky.
Say, "1, 2, 3".
Tip head down (chin to chest).
Say, "1, 2, 3".
Now continue this as fast as you can.

Imagine this in your mind to speed it up because your tongue & neck can't really go fast enough....

I love Mustangs and Corsairs. Fell in love with Corsairs watching Papy Boyington.

I always thought it sounds like a triumph tr6 when you get on it.

Never having heard an inline triple before, upon acceleration the only way I can describe it to someone is "Sounds like a Sports Bike and a Dump Truck" mixed together... the whine of sports bike and the gurgling sound of a diesel engine.

amirite?

pissed off Singer sewing machine!
