    I absolutely loved this series. Thank you much and the police bike was icing on the cake.

    The most memorable part of Triumph's Meriden history for me was the steadfast loyalty and passion shown by the workforce for the brand in the most adverse of financial conditions of the company towards its closure.
    Nice chat and walk round with Geoff there and it's fantastic the way Triumph has been reborn in such a successful way :)

    • @TheMissendenFlyer
      @TheMissendenFlyer  8 лет назад

      Yes quite a story with regards to the sit in - not sure I've heard of any other cases like that...

    • @HepcatHarley
      @HepcatHarley 8 лет назад

      Yes, my friend had a new T140 V and E and the frame was just gloss painted over bare steel, no primer.

  • @73Trident
    @73Trident 5 лет назад +1

    I'm glad they spent some time on the Tridents history. My 73 Trident is the only bike I wish I had back. Performance was fantastic, looks were the same. The exhaust sound was incredible. It's the reason I own a 1999 Triumph Thunderbird and a 2006 Triumph RocketIII. The sound of all Triumph triples are so exotic they remind me of Rolls-Royce Merlins. I love my Triumphs.

    • @keithdmaust1854

      Hey, I owned a 73 Trident too! Hooker header and huge rear sprocket. Guy I bought it from drag raced it. Hellish drama to start it though.

    Absolutely love Triumph motorcycles. I was slightly disappointed to not see any examples of the 1963 to 1970 Bonnevilles, especially those sold to America, and most especially the Bonneville TT Specials; one of which I purchased brand new in 1965.

    Another top video. As I mentioned earlier I come from Warrandyte an outer suburb of Melbourne. One of the famous characters who lived in Warrandyte now has passed away and my wife and I knew was a chap who ran a little book business "Owls Nest Books" was also one of the great motorcycle engineers, in particular engines, he had strange views on suspension aside, name Phil Irving designer of the HRD Vincent engine and the Repco Brabham engine. We have a few of his books amongst our collection.

      TheMissendenFlyer I know like me you prefer to be a lone wolf when it comes to riding. I don't like group rides, too much dicking around goes on for me.
      But how about the odd dual vlogs, I think I'm right in thinking you've never done one.
      Perhaps linking up with a vlogger in your area could be a goer.
      Captain Rambunctious likes Triumphs, he's an aviator, and reasonably local to you I think.
      Might be enjoyable all round. Just a thought mate.

    • @TheMissendenFlyer
      @TheMissendenFlyer  8 лет назад

      @nigeh5326 4 года назад

      It came down to a lack of investment by those at the top who took the profits in the 50s and 60s. Also ignoring the Japanese threat, they even went to Japan to look at Hondas factory but came away saying the Japanese weren’t a threat because they didn’t build big bikes, Honda proved them wrong.
      It’s a sad story in part it also applies to Austin Rover and other British manufacturers
