Rocket Launch: ride a Triumph Rocket 3 flat out!

Description

Existing or potential Triumph Rocket 3 owners are invited to ride their bike or a Triumph press bike on a private runway, on 18th Sept.

Want to ride your Triumph Rocket 3 flat out?  

Calling all Triumph Rocket 3 owners (or ‘Rocket III’, whatever your tipple), road legal or otherwise, or those interested in a Rocket 3… how would you like to attend our event in conjunction with Triumph Motorcycles for as many high-speed runs as you want? 

What? 

We’re calling the event ‘Rocket Launch!’ 

BikeSocial and Triumph Motorcycles are inviting all Triumph Rocket 3 owners of any age, road legal or otherwise, to a disused two-mile long airfield for a chance to run their bike flat-out. 

Straightliners, the drag racing events experts, will use their immense experience to conduct the event with support from BikeSocial and Triumph. As the British marque celebrates 20 years of the Rocket 3 model, we’re inviting all owners to come and find out how fast they are on a 1.8-mile-long runway with official timing equipment at the ready. The BikeSocial and Triumph teams will be on-site, so will a team of high-speed riding experts will be on hand to help with launches and body positions. 

Free professional photos, as well as a commemorative printout of the registered speed at ½ mile and one-mile intervals, and a beautiful sticker(!) will form part of the record of your day. 

Triumph Motorcycles will bring several of the latest generation Rocket 3 Storm models which can be booked for a trial on the day. 

Come on, how many opportunities will you get to feel what a bike that can accelerate from 0-60mph in less than 3-seconds and has twice as much torque as a superbike can do, legally?! 

Where? 

Elvington Airfield, Yorkshire, YO41 4AU. A former RAF base with a 1.8-mile runway hired exclusively for you. 

When? 

Wednesday, 18th September 2024, 10.30am – 5pm. Gates open from 8:30am. First runs at 10.30am following a safety briefing. Entrance to the site is FREE but please let us know by clicking here if you’d like to ride on the runway, or borrow a bike to do so. 

Spectators are welcome too, but it'll only be Rocket 3’s permitted on the runway! 

How much? 

Entry to event is FREE, and so is the opportunity to run your Rocket 3 on the runway if you are a BikeSocial Member, but there’ll be a one-off £10 charge for non-members. 

‘Competitors’ will be entitled to a free hot or cold drink too. There is no restriction on the number of runs between 10.30am – 5pm but you must rejoin the back of the queue after each run.
