ModeratorI actually set out to go to the Classic car Show with Thumper, but I wound at the National Motorcycle Museum instead.
A few piccies from my day there
X75, one of my favourite bikes
Sheene’s last race bike
No wonder they leak oil
Check out that steering arangement
Outboard rear disc – odd
The Norton rotary racing bikes of the 1990s. Wouldn’t it be great to see Norton rise again like Triumph has?
I love Vincents
Wild exhausts
Makes you feel proud
BSA Fury and its Triumph Bandit brother behind. 350cc four strokes from the early 1970’s abandonned in the pre-production phase. Hundreds were scrapped. what a missed opportunity. Honda sold 26,000 Superdreams in the UK alone. These bikes could of faced that sales challenge with ease
Prototype Triumph 1000cc four. Could of taken on the Z1 and CB750
Just exquisite
Finely crafted, what wonderful workmanshipNovember 19, 2007 at 6:03 pm #54045imperialdata

ModeratorCheers ID, it is a really interesting place but I come away with a sense of frustration at all the opportunities we missed in the UK. The Fury/Bandit and 1,000cc four cylinder Triumphs are just a couple of examples
