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.

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 15^o 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.
