"... argument juice is added from the argument lobe of the female brain allowing the finished bike to change direction in an instant" Still my favorite line :)
Does that mean that when the bike goes off the road that it's not due to a lack of understanding of counter steering, or target fixation, but due to an over abundance of stubbornness fluid from the stubbornness lobe of the male brain, preventing it from changing direction even when it's going in a wrong direction?
This exchange is one of the best justifications for heterosexuality ever presented. If the other gender were not so different would they be as interesting?
@Francisco Salvador Yea, I got one that needs a CPU that Triumph no longer makes, and its a 2008 WTF???? F'K Triumph. No one can build a bike as well engineered as the Japanese do. NO ONE. F'k Harley too.
This is why there must always be an England. Wonderful take on a unique device. 50 years every day riding, and my couple of hours on the then "new Rocket III" are still precious to me. "Just bring it back in one piece", the salesman said... It was a hoot...
I just love this, regardless of the product its a testament to the brilliant thinking of the team that produced it. Done with such sincerity it encapsulates the British sense of humour.
As it has been for over 900 years, and thus shall ever be: men will be inclined to lose control of their badgers, dropping them on the roadway, resulting in something usually a bit less dramatic than what is shown here. But, not always. And now, with the Rocket 3 scurrying about our roads with feckless disregard as Triumph riders are apt to demonstrate- the question must be raised is all this worth the life of a single badger. Well now, is it?
Finally! A motorcycle ad that doesn't try to sell you a lifestyle or some other bullshit! If I'd seen this when it first came out, I probably wouldn't have bought my Road King... Maybe...
I had heard about all the extra time and effort involved. Now I've seen it on the Tube of You, it must be true. Probably why they cost so much. My 2 Trumpets were anything but cheap but now I'm reassured it was money well spent.
Oh this commercial is so much better than the new 2-wheel Hipster vibe, choppers and cruisers are marketed with today! Triumph should have sticked to this idea.
I just got to see this add & loved it. Triumph should make more adds like this. Everybody is so up tight now days a little light heartiness can go a long ways.
900 years? Thats plain silly, there is biblical evidence that dates their bikes much earlier than that. "All accross Judea the people heard the roar of Moses`s Triumph".
Allegedly Triumph did not have a machine tool that could bore 3 cylinders at once. They had to bore 2 then reposition the cylinder block to bore the third. This is why Triumph and all other British motorcycle manufacturers went bust, no investment. How could they ever compete with the likes of Honda who bought the same machine tools that Rolls Royce used. My father worked for a Triumph/Norton dealer. Every new bike they sold he had to remove the crankcase covers and and machine the mating surfaces so they didn't leak oil everywhere.
This is one of the best commercials of all time.
Still one of the funniest adverts for a bike, but at the same time manages to show what the bike can really do, brilliant move by Triumph.
Coming back to this in 2022 and it’s still a gem! If you are watching you have great AD taste my friend
ALL adverts should be this entertaining!
And ALL the products should live up to any claims made in said advert.
I worked there for 8 years,it is all true
why so many bikes built outside of Great Britian.
because of weather!
This absolutely has to be true. It would not be on the internet if it wasn't. Right? ... Right?
Did you lose your job to the Chinese like so many others?
@@mqbitsko25 Triumph is in Thailand now, so, probably

Jenny Tokumei yes....LMAO
It's True mate.
@@BerryTheBnnuy Nope! It's all down to the argument juice...

I’d pay good money to see this aired on mainstream TV.🤣
its been 10 mins since I watched this and I am still having a chuckle.
I had a Rocker lll. Sometimes it was hard to start so I took it to the dealer who said it doesn't need a mechanic, it needs counselling!😂
A Theme common with ALL Triumphs. If it's made in England Stay far far away.....................you have been warned.
@Francisco Salvador Yea, I got one that needs a CPU that Triumph no longer makes, and its a 2008 WTF???? F'K Triumph. No one can build a bike as well engineered as the Japanese do. NO ONE. F'k Harley too.
I rode one of them on a test drive...nearly spilled my tea.
I hope you filled out a Quality Control Complaint Form.
As long as heat from the engine didn't melt your chocolate teapot
As a badger dropper, I can feel safe now crossing the road.
My great great grandfather & i used to work at that plant back in 2028... good times great memories.
The result of a 'Time warp and condom' failure? These things happen!

Only a badger who rides a Rocket 3 could answer that truly profound question.
Let's hope one reads the comments before too long...
Ahem, is 'losing yer badger' a euphemism for something?
class. reminds me of hitchikers guide to the galaxy.
Haha yeah The narration does have a bit of that about it.
"Practice Safety procedure if your front wheel falls off.." Wonder If I could use that next time I get pulled over.
Send the copper a link to this video. He may collapse laughing
I had no idea "motorbikes" were built "900 years ago by Truimph" which by the way is a favourite of mine.
Best commercial ever!!! I'll take one of each color! Brilliant!
Glad there is something like British humor, the World would stop turning without it I fear.
I own one of these, Awesome Power Machine.. Funny ad..
I have a Bonneville T100, I'm constantly having to adjust the centre of gravity component, it's always working loose.
Have you tried taking it for a nice meal and then a drink with mates at the pub?
Finally! A motorcycle ad that doesn't try to sell you a lifestyle or some other bullshit!

Fantastic!
This never gets old 😂

Cute daughter. Such a nice dad to make sure his daughter is provided for. ;)
Badgers? We dun need no steenking badgers!
Is Douglas Adams in the building? Normality will be restored in 3, 2, 1... Is that you Arthur?
this is the most british thing i've seen in a while
This video never gets old.
Oh this commercial is so much better than the new 2-wheel Hipster vibe, choppers and cruisers are marketed with today!
Triumph should have sticked to this idea.
I had this bike.. the first model year. It was a great bike. I miss it.
Centre of Gravity fell out of my Sprint RS while it was parked. Came back to find the damn bike stuck to the garage ceiling.
holy crap wheelie on rocket
Generally not a good idea 🙂
If you’d ever ridden one, you’d soon discover its hard to stop the bugger wheelie-ing!
I just got to see this add & loved it. Triumph should make more adds like this. Everybody is so up tight now days a little light heartiness can go a long ways.
900 YEARS!🤣
Bring it back!!!
They pressurize the parts like harley haha
AWESOME!!! My Friday laugh...cheers.
"200 Kilos of power" 😂
does this remind anyone else of the hitchikers guide to the galaxy. you could not imagine bmw producing an advert like this.
Normality will be restored in 3, 2, 1...
This is so Douglas Adams. Brilliant.
900 years? Thats plain silly, there is biblical evidence that dates their bikes much earlier than that.
"All accross Judea the people heard the roar of Moses`s Triumph".
sheikhyaboooty THAT’s how to post A witty retort with biblical recognition of the Triumph!
So much for God riding a Harley then
He probably got tired of it breaking down and got a Triumph instead
God commutes on a Harley.
God rides a Triumph on his days off.
1:00 the power is added (with a ladle) - too much, and it could explode. Yes, Triumphs have had a lot of practice with that one......
AD COMPANIES NEED TO LEARN FROM THIS
Simply hilarious- thank you so much for sharing. Stay safe
"Shammied with yak's butter" lol
Very funny so sad that production beyond tarting up a few limited editions is now shifted abroad from Hinckley.
Much more in the style of 'Look Around You' (first series) than 'Hitchhikers', but very funny all the same.
I love this advert. 👍
I'm sold. But I'm an American. Does it come in left hand drive?
Brilliant advert!
no badgers were harmed in the making of this film. lol
I don't really care for British bikes, but this commercial makes me want a Rocket 3...
Legendary English Sense of Humour!!! Love it !!!
It didnt show where and when the Triumph engine oil depository are installed. A crucial part of Triumph ownership.
Clearly a response to How Ducati is made.
Where is the dog?
"...to poop on!"
This originally must have been a April Fools idea... so funny though
Brilliant
LOL l love it this review regards from Australia.
La Rocker lll es lo máximo en moto
En poder y confort , estilo única
Fun absorbed by osmosis....and yak butter 😂
i'm pretty sure the narrator Is the old hitchhiker's guide narrator from the bbc radio broadcast
Did he say over 900 years of motorcycle building prowess?
David's Favorite Videos he also said 'ever since the dawn of time, triumph have been producing large powerful motorcycles'
It's now 2021 so really it is 914 years 😁
Does anyone know who did the voice over for this ad? I'm almost certain it was Peter Jones.
Of "Hitch Hikers Guide to the Universe" fame. Still listen to the audio books, best ever.
Yak's butter, that's why mine doesn't shine like the proverbial diamond in a goat's arse.
Still a classic!!
Understanding Rocket Science made fast .
I always wondered how they did that, ... fascinating!
Classic 😧😂😂😂😂🇬🇧 had me fooled for a minute 🤔 TRIUMPH MERIDEN FOREVER!
Sorry, but Meriden is now a housing estate
Great! Ads used to be funny and imaginative like this, no more sadly. Terrific bike too.
Brilliant!
With over 900 years of building motorbikes prowess behind them ...
WHAT ?????????
'argument juice' We'll leave it there!
The engines are grown from embryos . Bloody hell that killed me with laughter . Id love to see an Aussie humored version of this type of ad .
wait wait wait wait wait wait....
let me process all this shit 🤷
Hilarious!!! 😂🤣😂👍✊
ice cold cool advert
Great advertising. I'll take one
all seems reasonable enough to me ,,,,
I could not stop laughing 😆
Who is the stunt rider, Kevin Carmicheal ?
Love it!!!
Flash backs to Monty Python.. LOL
here is another funny motorcycle video for my riding buddies...
does this remind anybody of the hitchikers guide to the galaxy?
900 years of motorbike building ? Maybe somebody should listen to there own video
This or comercials of today. Wich do you prefer?
Ye, commercials are rubbish these days, would love to see more of this sort of thing..
Omg 😆 I wish all commercials were not shit and hilarious. I have tears lol. The English can be a funny bunch.
Brilliant :)
Did the narrator just say that Triumph has 900 years of motoring provess behind them? Did no one making this video hear that?
Yes he did ;) - Remember the commercial is a spoof (aka *joke*)
That's OK, Harley has been at it for 1,000 years!
Prowess.
may be that is the reason its titled funny
I was like, nah he must have said 100 years. That was before I realized it was a spoof when they talked about engine embryos.

That's old triumph. The only thing in common with present day triumph is the name, which John Bloor bought.
....God! The more you know, eh?
900 years of motorbike building...?????
Very strange indeed & very funny!
idk... looks like a tea spill waiting to happen if you ask me....
Triumph, please redo this for new rockets
