All new 2020 Triumph Rocket 3 R | Rocket 3 GT
“At 2458 cc the new Rocket III boasts the world’s largest production motorcycle engine. Triumph claim the uprated new engine cranks out 11 per cent more power (165 hp), than the previous generation of the machines, and delivers the highest torque of any production motorcycle you can buy with 221 Nm at 4,000 rpm. It also revs higher than ever before with the new mill red-lining at 7000 rpm. Add the optional up-down quick-shifter for the six-speed gearbox and this is going to be one exciting machine from the traffic lights.”
Now I haven’t ridden one as they haven’t arrived yet. However, I had a couple of test rides on its predecessor which has a 2.3 litre triple engine. Lovely bike to ride but way more power than I’d ever need or use.

Welcome to the best club in the world Paul. “You’re Going To Lose That Girl,” was one of the very first MLT videos I saw and also got me instantly hooked. I’m from the other side of the Pacific and also spent some time in New Zealand. Twelve months in the mid seventies.
I’m glad you’ve joined the Club. The more people who support the MLT vision, the more music we can expect from them.

Fabulous news there Rich. Nice to know young people are getting in the groove. I have no doubt that the MLT have made a big contribution to the Beatles’ revival. Hopefully, it flows through to more sales of MLT originals!

Please, please me, Mona and Lisa. Another Hollies cover is long overdue. Just think how much fun you could have with this one. Never mind about the steel drums. I’m sure you could improvise with a cello or flute or some other instrument, or papa Rudi could provide the appropriate backing tape like the Hollies did when playing live!

“Bob Dylan and the Beatles met in 1964. Dylan had become well known for writing protest anthems such as “The Time They Are A-Changin’” and “Blowin’ In the Wind.”
Reportedly, at that first meeting, Dylan got all the Beatles stoned for the first time on pot.
The Beatles had fallen under Dylan’s spell. John and Paul tried writing songs in a style like Dylan’s—acoustic, with lyrics that had something more substantial to say than the obvious triteness of pop songs.
The ironic thing is that, while the Beatles tried to copy Dylan, Dylan tried to copy the Beatles.
Dylan saw how enormously successful and popular the Beatles were and he wanted some of that. Whether he really cared for the Beatles’ music, we don’t know. But he definitely cared for the popularity that went with the music.
So Dylan ditched his acoustic guitar and got an electric. In 1965 he just about caused a riot at the Newport Folk Festival by playing the electric guitar on stage.
His going electric was very controversial. Many folk fans were upset. And then, Dylan recorded the six-minute rock single “Like a Rolling Stone.”
In a span of 15 months Dylan released three rock albums, “Bringing It All Back Home,” “Highway 61 Revisited” and “Blonde on Blonde.”
While the Beatles had essentially gone folk, playing acoustic guitars and such, Dylan had, in effect, gone electric rock.”

Nice one Jung. However, we have our own beaver and plenty of gooses, especially in our parliament and on shock jock radio!
Could do an exchange for a platypus though!

Hi Skip. I asked similar questions to you early on in the club. You can find my questions answered under the Topic:

The Mona Lisa Twins have covered the Byrds cover of Dylan with their fantastic live rendition of “Mr. Tambourine Man” in their fabulous 2007 concert.
There are many more Byrd’s Dylan songs I’d like to see them cover. For example:

“The seventies have had a lot of bad press. Were they really that bad or has it become a handy media myth? We’re they not, in reality, the most schizophrenic decade of them all- with a collapsing economy played out with a boom time, a decade of bad flares and great music, a decade of bad politics but brilliant idealism and, arguably, the greatest soundtrack ever.
It’s often said that the seventies were the decade that taste seemed to evaporate but this is just not true. Musically it was as good as the mythological sixties. Glam rock rules Top Of The Pops with Bowie and Bolan ruling the roost with endless great singles and all manner of fruity madness from other glam groups. Funk got seriously warped with the genius Parliament, there was some great Prog if you count Krautrock and Hawkwind as Prog and punk and post-punk rounded off the decade nicely. It’s hard to think of another decade with as much musical diversity.
Whilst in some ways the memory of the decade is politically grim with the Uk foundering politically and economically whilst the rest of Europe caught up with a country basking in post-empire and post-war glow and a confidence-boosting Beatle sixties and this is true. If the fab 4 had been a symbol of this new, hip Great Britain in the swinging decade even they looked washed up and were a bit rubbish in the seventies.”
In my state of Queensland, the seventies were very repressive politically and musically, and consequently, a healthy underground music scene evolved. At the forefront of this music was very early punk, similar to what was developing in the UK.
Sex Pistols – God Save The Queen
“God Save the Queen” is a song by the British punk rock band the Sex Pistols. It was released as the band’s second single and was later included on their only album, “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols”. The song was released during Queen Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee in 1977.
