CB750 & Triumph Trident
Spitfire:
The Trident and Rocket 3 have a special place in my memories though I have never owned one of them, I can remember seeing a Rocket 3 in the lake district while I was on an Endevour training course at Windamere in 1968 at the time I had a 250 AJS so I was most impressed.
During the early 1970's when I used to go to various Rallys a friend had a Rocket 3 and I loved the looks of it, later I had a friend who built a special using a Trident engine, he shoe horned it into a Royal Enfield 250 GT Continental, sadly after spending a long time building it and not long riding it some reprobate stole it and it was never seen again.
So in short let us hear of your trials with a Trident.
Cheers
Dennis

Count me in for a read too!
I had lots of BSAs and a few Triumphs but when oil got scarce and very expensive, I had to buy a Honda ;)
There are at least 3 Trident/Rocket 3s up here in Orkney - two in a big collection along with 3 CBXs and a Benelli Sei, I'm sure they would be up for a read too!

Forgot - there's also a lovely Craig Vetter X75 Hurricane
Nurse Julie:
Yes please Colin. I have very fond memories of all the Tridents I have owned.

Always interested in other bike stories. I follow the guy on Youtube who has a collection of the final BSA/Triumph offerings inc a BSA Fury DOHC 350cc twin,
