Triumph, Triumph, Triumph....yadda, yadda, yadda.

Don't ask me why my last 3 posts were featuring Triumphs cause I really couldn't tell you (other than I have been thinking that my next project will definately be an old Trumpy). But seeing as I'm on the topic I'm gonna hit you with another Triumph vid.

This time it's Triumph's 2009 lineup. Prepare yourself for this one as it's all arty and shit.



I think my next post will be about modern Triumph Cafe Racer conversions. Part's, workshops and pictures...(let me know if this is boring you)

Triumph: The world's longest continuous production motorcycle manufacturer

Here's a 3 part video series showing the original build process at Triumph Motorcyces. Triumph started in 1902 and even though they went in to recivership in 1983 the company lived on making it the worlds longest running motorcycle manufacturer.

The videos walk you through exactly how the bikes were built in the days when men were men, bums were bums and Triumphs were hand built. The music to these vids is great. They must have hired the same guys who did all the classic disney cartoons.

Triumph Classic part 1: Building the frame, crankcase and pistons.



Triumph Classic part 2: Cylider and head assembly, gearbox and first startup.



Triumph Classic part 3: Headlamp and electrics, road testing and plenty of corny jokes.




For thrilling, reliable and comfortable transport...

IT'S A TRIUMPH EVERYTIME!

My other love...

I've decided it's time to share my collection of pinup beauties with those of you who I know will appreciate it. So in a week or 2 I will be setting up a new blog to run alongside Return of the Cafe Racers but with a focus on my other passion...Pin Up girls.

But for now here's a little something to get you warmed up. Enjoy...
