Rideout to tour Triumph Factory in Hickley..
Early stages but was thinking of riding up to Hinckley in Leicestershire to have a tour of the Triumph factory. They haven't announced dates when the tours will be yet but my local Triumph (Bulldog) dealer will post the details up on their website as soon as they have them..
It's 90 miles from the Shire Horse using M-ways but obviously we could take a more scenic route.. Anyone interested? |

Re: Rideout to tour Triumph Factory in Hickley..
i would be! always fancied a trip round a bike factory.
Mark, but the French don't make any decent bikes do they? Well, maybe a voxan or something like that. Not many that I know of. after owning two peugeots, I wouldn't trust the electrics EDIT - unless they did a diesel version! then I might consider it,hehe |

Its not that i'm protecting my domestic motor industry, its just i'm doing my best to curtail Englands.
Triumph will go the way of British Leyland/Rover!

Re: Rideout to tour Triumph Factory in Hickley..
Well, i've done a bit of research (for once) and it looks like you have to meet at the dealer, have tea & cakes then board a bus up to the factory for a 10am start, finish at 12... Not so appealing now! Thought it would be poss to just ride up there..
Will confirm this asap.. |
