Thrilling all the way! I had the honor to meet Rob at his shop in National City. Got him to autograph my copy of Mick Duckworth's "Triumph and BSA Triples". This video captures the magic, well done sir.

Thank you for leaving this video as it should be. No crappy music played over that glorious engine sound.

Love the sound of the Trident when it comes on the pipe.

Takes me back to riding the Beebee racing triples fantastic sound brilliant video thanks for the memories👍

Hello Alistair, many thanks for commenting, it's great to hear from someone who rode these bikes back then! Andy.

Wicked sound from that Trident! My Brother in Law had a Rickman Trident, 3 into 1 and Letterbox fairing. I remember watching the first Transatlantic series at Oulton Park in the 70s first time I'd heard one. Magical sound a pack of them flying around Oulton Park.

This video and sound is magnificent. To me there is just no beating the sound of a 3 cylinder four stroke on song.....hair raising! Excellent riding too. Thanks

Anyone who doesn't have a North should build one. You will never regret it ! 😍

Blimey 😮 That was a textbook start if there ever was one 😃👌 And a nice soundtrack too 😊

I got so many goose bumps i had to watch it again, what a sound from that bike.

These men are the prof that age is just figures...

Awesome sounding bike, there,s nothing like a triple with a race pipe, and engine of course. Great start by the way, you really blitzed the field.

As a T160 owner DULY Impressed!! 😁 Thanks for the video!!

What a fantastic video , one of the best I’ve ever seen , bloody magic .

Outstanding.. Nothing beats the sound of those old British triples.. I bought a 73 T150V nearly 30 years ago and still own it.. You gotta love the sound when you change down at high speed.. I used to do it on the way to work in the 90's and set off all the car alarms in the carpark building at work.. I'm subscribed!!

Ive had my T150 here in South Africa for abput 40 years. Bought it from an englishman who came out to work at Ford assembly plant in Port Elizabeth ehp also haf a Nice Norton Commando for the same price. Sadly i could only afford one and opted for the Trident which has some Rob North bits and sounds awesome.

What a peach of a start. HATS OFF.

Awesome stuff! My dad raced round billown in 2007 and finished 2nd in his class and 7th? overall on his Ducati 250! This brings back a few memories I have of it as I was only 2 at the time

I’ve had 2 t150’s and 1 t160. Just love them. Best sounding bikes ever built. Great video. Brilliant start. Love it. Well done. Very jealous.

Wow what a sound

Some ride that one up for the grey beards like me ! 😂😂😂

How was start?, amazing, without the missed gear changed he would of giving them thing to think about, extremely well done.

brilliant sound track, my T150V sounded good at low revs 30 in 3rd or something, to low for town, ground clearance

Crisp!

Great video,i like the way you went through the racers at the start esp through inbetween the two bikes. What sort of speeds were you doing ?

@mv4ago

About 130 mph maximum but it was slightly under-geared.

Thats a BIKE:)

Yes, it was definitely a tad under-geared that day, same gearing as I've used before though.

Brilliant, racing a three as it should be ridden, who are liberals that gave this a thumbs down?

Hello. If may I, I want to know to what RPMs you stretch each gear. More than 5500? Thanks

8500 rpm. It should do 9500 with bigger carburettors.

@@pbysome Hi; I was referring to EACH gear...so, you push each gear to over 9000RPMs?!! May be because my Triumphs are twins but I find very difficult to for example, rev second gear over 6000...(I have 32mm carbs and dual plugs head)
