Triumph to celebrate 20 years of the Rocket 3 with special owners event at Elvington Airfield

Updated: 30 August 2024

Triumph are celebrating 20 years of the Rocket 3 muscle cruiser by hosting a special event, inviting existing and aspiring owners to ride their bikes on the Elvington Airfield runway.

Titled, ‘Rocket Launch’, the event will take place on September 18 and is open exclusively to Rocket 3s. For just £10, attendees can enjoy unlimited, flat out runs down the two-mile airstrip aboard their triple cylinder muscle bikes.

A limited number of Rocket 3 Storm models will be available to give owners of older Rockets a chance to try the latest iteration too. The event is being run in partnership with Straightliners.

Spectating is free and all riders will receive a commemorative printout showing their registered speeds across both the half- and one-mile interval. They will also receive a sticker and photographs from the day.

MCN Content Writer, dog dad and motorcycle adventurer - After gaining experience in various technical roles within the motorcycle trade, I joined Motorcycle News as a Content Writer in 2024. My passion for motorcycles began early, growing up in a bike-enthusiast family. My youth was spent riding trails, motocross, and briefly road racing. At 19, after earning my A2 license, I discovered a love for touring, completing the NC500 in Scotland shortly after. Driven by a thirst for adventure, I undertook a ride from the UK to Azerbaijan and back, traversing Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa. More recently, I undertook a 20,000km journey from the UK to South Africa along Africa’s west coast.
