I remember being 16 years old, and looking through the showroom window at a new BSA Rocket 3.

It was around three years wages, had my first bike a Francis Barnet Cruiser 84, cost me fiver, was on three quid a week, my first job.

The rocket 3 was next to an open topped car with two propellers at the back.

Around 1969.

Yes they were very expensive when they first came out. I rode a demo model in 69, although no thoughts to buy - far too much money for me then. I was friendly with the local dealer and he let me use it to fetch some spares for my AJS Stormer.

Three years ago I bought a badly neglected version and am just in the final stages of restoration. So hopefully will be riding one again - 43 years later.
