Tour of Triumph Hinckley factory

[LordShaftesbu...]

Anyone been on it this year? I've checked the website but it says are all places are booked up. When I email the link all I get is an automated response to "check back later". How do you get on it?

Hi

Ask your local Triumph dealer. They probably have tours for their customers (think they are obliged to organise them) and likely have some places allocated to them

All the best

I heard a rumour that there are only about 10 places per day.

You have to peel off the cover on your seat and see if there's a golden ticket inside. <fact face>

there are no tour's at this time of the year, all the bikes coming off the production line are 2013 stock, and yes there's lots of rumours and pre production stuff been in MCN nut bothing confirmed yet, so they're not letting anyone in to spoil any surprises

If you do go, sit someone down and ask them what the hell they were thinking with the new font and headlights.

[LordShaftesbu...]

Yeah not too keen on the headlights myself either. The font is OK on something like the 675R but I wish they'd leave it off the rest.

Probably posted many, many times but it's worth posting again for those that missed it before

new headlights grow on you and look much better than the old ones, and the new font is taking the brand into the future where the only people who remember the old font are dead, so using an old font means nothing to the newer customer

[LordShaftesbu...]

What balls, the new headlights haven't grown on me and they don't look better. They look like Dame Edna Everage's glasses. Now every time you see them you will think of Dame Edna Everage, and it serves you right.

And how can you say the only people who remember the old font will be dead soon? I bought my Triumph in 2010 and it has the good (I refuse to refer to it simply as the old) font on it!

The good font isn't good just because it has heritage (see that word - heritage - that's what old actually means), it also just looks nice!
