Did you see it on ITV4 last night, a very good history of Triumph.

Tonight, 21:00 it's the turn of Norton.

I have a refill kit in the shed for my old Brit bikes.

And I've always believed my son - a Design Engineer there - when he has run through the complicated technical aspects of their motorbike production!!

WELL NO MORE !


Just wait 'til I see him next time.

And tonight was Ducati.

Mr Cole gets up my nose but these three programs have been very good indeed. No doubt available on catch-up somewhere.

Missed tonight's offering but watched the Norton last night....
Any wonder the Brit bike industry floundered.

Developers designed the featherbed frame, the greatest thing to come from Norton.....then stick a four year old engine in it.
That engine was only a revamp of a very very old design in itself.

While the Brits were still turning out vertical twins Soichiro Honda was turning out inline 6 cylinder 250 machines.

Vertical twins with 360 degree cranks and no balance shaft no less . It's no accident that Honda designed the best-selling motorcycle ever made.

And The the oldest and longest run of continuous Motorcycle building is actually The Royal Enfield and not Triumph.
