Triumph Factory Museum Tour.

[Riderguide]

No plans or dates in place just yet for a UK visit as I'm relying on the folks visiting us for a change this year, however as the current Mrs Rider Skills is from Hinckley and her family are there, next time we're planning a trip I'll be sure to book a museum/factory tour. It'll be an opportunity for anyone else on here/over there interested to meet up for a brew and a pub lunch I reckon. Maybe sometime next year with a bit of luck. Will keep you all updated. Haven't been to the factory since early to mid nineties I reckon. I won't recognise the place and it was awesome back then so I can't imagine how it is now. Anyone else been?

Will do. Them Speed Triples get my juices flowing. My main company bike back then was a 1993, 900. My first Mrs was a hell of a brave passenger haha, to be fair she didn't know any different so just got used to my antics. Jeez I could fill my mancave up with old toys (bikes not ex wives). I liked that brutish type look, such an easy thing to thrash about if not a bit heavy. Bike wasn't bad either

Hahahaha... I must have put so many lasses off bikes thinking scaring them was a good way into their knickers.... I got laid ok, but never a second ride request on the bike oddly! hahaha

I've been to the museum and cafe at the factory--well worth visiting just for that. The factory tours are difficult to book for larger numbers (about a dozen of us went) so we just did the museum.
