Trident & Rocket 3 Owners Club
The TR3OC is a highly specialised club, catering solely for the 3-cylinder, pushrod engined machines manufactured by Triumph and BSA between the years of 1968 and 1976 along with other period machines fitted with these engines.
The TR3OC was established as a club over 25 years ago and is a recognised authority on the marques & the racing variants. For the last 17 years the club has run an annual track day at Cadwell Park which has grown into one of the premier events on the European Classic Bike calendar. At last years event Beezumph 17 the club made history by re-uniting the 1970s Transatlantic Team with the Americans being blown away by the support and admiration shown by both club members and British fans alike.
Beezumph 18 is scheduled for early August and again should see Cadwell Park as the venue. Dates are yet to be announced but a regular visit to the site will keep you updated, Check out the Membership Page as they do take on New Members that don't currently own a triple but are enthusiastic about the marques.

Chris is a long standing member and active supporter of
the club joining back in the early years when he originally built
his magnificent Hurricane X75. Sadly after 19+ years of ownership
the bike was sold to help fund his current Rob North Trident.
Chris originally built and fully restored his Hurricane from a box of bits. The bike was used for a number of years as daily transport and was a trusty steed for many overseas trips. The only downside with the X75 is the very small tank which presented some interesting problems when trying to find gas stations in the back and beyond
