It's a sort of purple colour

And it's mine.

Not that any of you lot will be impressed, I know. But there's not many
of these about, so I thought that now the snow's gone and the rain's
stopped I'd take a pic or two.

Gay, innit?

WANT!!

I imagine it has more grunt than a huge grunty thing. A PIG! No, a wild
boar. More grunt than a wild boar? A very big wild boar with four trotter
drive and a thistle tickling its bollocks?

I think I'd have that screen off it though.

I likes it but we are a minority, bruvver Joe. <Makes secret vibrating V
sign>

 

I suspect so, looking at the headlight.

That said, the tank and fender shouts Prestcold.

 

Hehe.. I'll have to remember that description. It seems to have enough
grunt, certainly.

The screen and the backrest have a 'quick release' mechanism: unlock
them with the ignition key, pull the lever and they're off.

I'm glad you like it bruvver

I always thought the headlight was inspired by the Scout Trooper's
helmet in Star Wars.

Really?

Is that the sign of the holy pushrods?

 

Similar, but with Parkinson's.

 

Ah, yes - I see what you mean.

The three lines design was an attempt to design a V-twin cruiser without
the leather/studs/tassels of the usual Harley clone. The design cues
were the Art Deco 'Streamliner' styles of the '20s and '30s. Probably
where Prestcold got their inspiration too.

Though not in this case as I think that this one's got bevel-driven OHC,
but done to look like it's got pushrods.

 

I wonder if it has more grunt that a Triumph Rocket-3?

 

Nah, proper pushrods (makes the sign etc).

Very nice.
Certainly is more impressive than the XV1100 Classic I had a few years back.
If I get rid of the Hog, I might look me up one of them.

No, nowhere near.

I *really* wanted to like the R3, but I'm afraid I don't.

I had a go of one when they came out and I'd like to get a longer go at
one. Triumph are doing some promotion on them, see their web page. What
was it about the R3 that you didn't like?

 

I sit corrected.

Perhaps we need to have a UKRM Cruiser Drag-Off at some point

 

It's uglier than my wife.
