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?

Not me.

Yes.

Although i wouldn't buy a Triumph out of principle. ;)

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! :)

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..

The bus bit does sound ****!

I guess its all part of their sales strategy, so they can pressure you before/after.

Hopefully we can hoon up there.....

Both Rosners and Lilleys (south London & Shepperton Triumph dealers) do the same thing although they do a bike ride up there, sort of working on the prosumption you're kind of into motorbikes already :smt102

Oh and not totally surprising the factory has very good bike parking to :D.

Cheers Mark.

Bus to a bike factory.....honestly. :)
