The wide angled shot which you take from top angle using the 10-20mm lens.

Wow! What a write-up, this time even better than the pictures (dare I say that!)..But really, the usage of wordings and the flow of the article is terrific. And Pranab's short review of the Rocket-III was just awesome.

I met Pranab a couple of times, but then he had the Intruder. Little did I know that when he does decides to change to a new machine, it would be all but the 2300cc monster that the Triumph Rocket-III is..!!

Pranab was a member of the 'old' xBhp, I still remember vividly he posting at some selected threads. I wonder whether he is still around.

@Sunny: Thanks for that wonderful photo-shoot and the article. Loved reading and watching the pictures.

@Pranab: A big big congratulations for getting the largest capacity motorbike that one can own - the Triumph Rocket-III! Kudos to you..

But the most fun I have is chugging along at 80 kmph on 5th and still dust some boy racer in a Camry at full throttle with a twist of the wrist and a burst of torque from the 2300 cc mill.

.. This is frsutrating for the C-Class, Accord, Camry and wud be bravo owners..

@Sunny- Have used 100mm macro USM for all the pics or u have switched the lenses?

Behemoth it is! Some nice pictures there Sunny. Looks like a Triumph ad!

Yes, it has been a while since I went on a ride with Pranab despite repeated invites. I am yet to see his behemoth. I would gladly ride with him again. He is a fun guy to be with.

Jaw dropping numbers. The pics are simply awesome. These beasts look a hundered times more impressive in flesh. Last time when I saw a boulevard in Pune, I was drawn towards it like Jerry is drawn to cheese in the cartoon Tom & Jerry

. Hope to catch the Rocket 3 in flesh somewhere.

Sunny · 10-29-2008, 12:08 PM

@kriss: Yes, missed that shot.
@Aryan: Pranab is on xBhp, no prizes for guessing his post-crash ID though.
@speed: I have switched lenses (100mm <--> 70-200 mm L)

powerslave · 10-29-2008, 08:50 PM

Great photos!

Great Pics as always Sunny.

Cheers everybody and ride safe.
