My goodness, would you risk your 40 year-old pride and joy on such roads?

Congratulations on 40 years. It looks great, you have taken good care of her. Are you planning a special dinner or flowers? Lol. My, it looks cold there.

Not my machine sadly. Just lifted this off a fb group I belong to.

no way! Too cold and slick!

Those big white arrows look like something to avoid when it's damp....especially when braking for a turn!
I so remember seeing the Triumph Trident and the BSA Rocket at a dealer in TX when I was in medic training. Trident was green and the Rocket red - unless my memory is bad? were those two somewhat like our Buicks and Oldsmobiles - in that they were just examples of badge engineering - otherwise the same machines?
I was also very taken by the yellow Norton Commando!!!

If you're on the arrow, you want to be no more than 15o from upright! That said they are generally well in advance of the bends so never been a problem for me.
At that time I think maybe Triumph and BSA were amalgamated, so yes likely just badge engineering. As for the Commando, yes, I always yearned for one of them.
