Norton, Triumph and Donington Park?

[G]

I have just been reading this article below...

This qoute is what interest me more specifically;

Garner's factory in Donington Park (yes, that's where Triumph Motorcycles are also made) is now running at capacity.

Are triumphs now made in Nottingham at Donington Park in the same factory as Nortons... or is this just stupid americans thinking that the UK is one state?

Triumph's main factory is at Hinckley isn't it? It isn't that far granted, unless they've moved and not told me - but then no-one tells me anything so perhaps I shouldn't be surprised.

That's what I thought?

Hence found the article a bit mind boggling.

Unless something has changed that the UK motorcycle world missed?

I think it is a case of the wonderful/unique perspective some americans have of Geography.

Yep. The massive great factory was still there yesterday morning ;)
I really ought to get myself a part time job there so I can get staff discount on a street triple!
