    Way too cold to ride, so Thumper and me checked out the rather excellent Coventry Transport Museum. The focus is on cars but there was a bike hall and some bikes dotted around generally. I was expecting more focus on Triumph seeing as the were based up the road in Meriden for so many years

    Anyway a few pics…
