Default Bikers Dilema

Bloomin' heck I say.

Managed to get 2 tickets to the triumph factory tour for me and my old man for a week on thursday (6th november)... It turns out he's got a job down london on the thursday so either:

a) he can go rig & run it and not come to the triumph thing - but that was the main reason for going so we could both go together...

b) I can go on his behalf since it's only a little job, it'll take a bit of pressure off him and I could do with the money, but I don't think I/we would be able to get to another factory tour since they only seem to come up about once a year.

I knew this would happen when I booked it about 2 months ago. *******!

What sayeth the mighty org?

no can do, conference tech's aren't flexible like that lol. Sounds like a tiny little job so only about 50 delegates, sound system, projector, screen, stage floor, stage set, top table, lectern, hand held mics and that's about it...

bloomin impossible.

Triumph do a lot more factory tours per year than you stated. They aren't difficult to book either. Just phone the factory and ask, or pop into your local Triumph dealer and they'll have a list somewhere.

i'll see what the crack is with this job. If I can't make it, does anyone from here want my place +1 on the tour?

Hope to & also if you don't get to Triumph on 6th may be able to use tickets. As previously said there are stacks of Factory visit days ( I think 4 days a week, morning & afternoon )
See you
