You thought you knew about Triumph, but did you know. . .
1. Triumph is over 100 years old and one year older than Harley Davidson
2. Triumph built their first bike in 1902
3. In the 1960s Triumph sold 60% of production and more bikes in the US than Harley Davidson
4. In 1967 and 1968 Gary Nixon rode Triumphs in back-to-back AMA championship wins (follow link to Gary Nixon website) (Did you know that Gary Nixon opened Pure Triumph on 8th October 2005 - 16 days before it was shut by Hurricane Wilma!)
5. Triumph's Type H 1st world war workhorse was nicknamed "Trusty" due to its reliability and dependability in the mud of the Western front
6. The very first triumph was a bicycle
7. Triumph's factories have been completely destroyed twice - once at Coventry in 1940 by the Luftwaffe, and secondly in a huge fire at the Hinckley plant in 2002
8. Triumph's were the bike of choice for screen stars like Steve McQueen, James Dean and Marlon Brando and appeared in films like the Wild Ones
9. Tom Cruise, Prince William & Prince Harry, and Michael Schumacher all own Triumphs, and Triumphs have starred in all the Mission Impossible films
10. John Bloor - house construction magnate - bought the Triumph name in 1985 and spent 3 years designing new bikes and building a factory in total secrecy
11. The first Hinckley Triumphs were shown at the Cologne show in 1990
12. Triumph's returned to racing in 2003 in the British Supersports championship with the Valmoto team. They scored a number of podium places and a TT win in 2004
13. The Rocket III is the largest displacement production motorcycle at 2.3 liters, and produces 147ft.lbf of torque. It produces more power at 1500 revs than production Harleys do at any engine speed
