Triumph day

Home
Up

A warm and sunny day. The early start was a bit hard but we made it (well, most of us did, there were 2 who couldn't get out of bed!!!)

So, a quick blat down the motorway, stopping only to annoy the motorway toll booth people by taking a loooong time to get out our £1, and we arrived at the factory to be greeted by thousands of other bikers - funnily enough, most of them on Triumphs.

The factory tour was interesting - the Rocket 3 was spectacular - I want one !!! Afterwards, we basked in the sun until the stunts were on, watched them for a while and then made out sedate way out. Gary said that he had this new route back - we suffered it for a while and then, after afternoon tea at Sudbury Hall, looked at the map and chose a better one.

But, as always, a superb day out. Some pictures and the normal comments !!!

Why does it take three people to chain up a bike ?
A prize for the best caption here !
In the factory, the men concentrating on the assembly line, the ladies obviously having a right old gossip (probably about men)
Brian tried to get a different view of the exhibit
Afterwards, Manhoc's second favourite pastime
This guy knows how to wear out his bikes!
Onwards to Sudbury Hall. Alec was a bit hot, hence the natty headwear, but he still found time for a cake and tea (but no cup!)
Geoff & Karen also enjoyed their repast on the lawn
Malcolm ordered not one but two ice creams
And Geoff was forgiven (from what we ask ?)
Meanwhile, Gary was exercising his brain cells
