Triumph factory, Meriden 1979

I found this photo in a box of mine, it hasn't seen the light of day for 31 years!
I went to England and bought a brand new 750 Tiger and rode up to the factory for a look around.

yeah...this was when it was in decline, the workers co-op were running it. Unfortunately other interior photos I took were grossly under exposed But I was shown around and it was astounding - prototypes and blueprints lying around, unloved. One other photo that half way came out was of a bike ready to ship which had an export label for Japan ;-) My new Tiger fell apart as I rode it, I wasn't that upset when it was stolen in London. Shame really, happy to know the new ones are all sorted now
