Travelling 2,000
kilometres by motorcycle is a feat in itself but when the trip is completed on
a classic bike then it makes the expedition even more courageous. This is exactly what Gerry Rowley did in 2012
to attend the Triples Rally when he rode from the Gippsland area of Victoria to
Ballina in the Northern Rivers region of NSW where the rally is held annually.
He would have repeated the trip in 2013 too but due to various circumstances he
ended up taking two bikes on a trailer along with a mate to ride the second
one.
This year he brought his
1969 Rocket 3 and his 1969 Triumph Trident T150 to Ballina and both bikes are
beauties. Gerry keeps them in tip top condition. Obviously everyone else who
participated in the rally thought so too as he took home rally awards for both
motorcycles including Best BSA 2013 for
the Rocket and Best Drum Brake Trident for
the T150.
Gerry says he’ll probably ride up for the 2014 rally because
he knows that whichever bike he rides, it will cover the distance without a
hitch. He’s that confident because he’s got Tri-Spark digital electronic
ignition systems installed on both bikes. Whether he rides one of these bikes or
his 1974 Norton Commando 850, which also has the Tri-Spark system installed, he
knows he’ll get to his destination no matter how far away it is.
So delighted is Gerry
with the trouble-free riding he now enjoys that when he takes delivery of a Rob
North BSA currently being built, it too will have a
Tri-Spark system installed before a final tuning on the dyno. For him a Tri-Spark system has become a
mandatory component.
“I tried other units
before I discovered the Tri-Spark system and I just wasn’t happy with them,”
Gerry explained. “I like to keep maintenance on my bikes to a minimum and
Tri-Spark does the trick giving me superior starting and better riding
especially on the three cylinder models.”
Gerry says initially Tri-Spark was recommended by another
satisfied customer. Since then, he has recommended Tri-Spark to at least three
other classic bike riders.
“It’s a very easy system to install so there’s just no
reason to put up with inconsistent starting, kickbacks or backfiring.” Gerry
said. “I can set out on a trip knowing I can enjoy the ride without a worry.”
