Welcome to the virtual madclubhouse, or whatever you all decided it is. Apparently Meriden Triumph would customise bikes to order (I heard this from a guy who used to work for Triumph), but I hadn't heard that the new factory did. But as Rob says, no harm in asking. I may even get my Triumph Tiger back on the road one of these days.
Hmmm - I have lady biker friends jealous of the fact I can fit on a Tiger. Triumph now have an app on their website where you can build a virtual bike of your dreams - at the last count 'my' Tiger plus all the add-ons came to about £10,000! In my dreams...
If you want a custom Triumph you tell them when you place the order at the factory rather than a dealer. They do what they can for you within reason, but apparently love a challenge A few of their employees live in my village...
Got an email today saying I was a popular member on this site *blush* - how's that work then? I don't currently have any decent photos of me as most of them are of me partaking in my 'other' hobby...
And lastly, went to the Vic last Thursday - there were few people there (probably because the weather was crap) and as everyone was in established groups and ignored me I downed my drink and went home as I'm too shy to approach people atm
Thank you Clinton! And once again thank you all for your welcome :)
I've just received this message from Triumph in Hinckley and thought to share it as some of you were curious:
Here’s the latest one-off customer special from Jack Lilley’s in Middlesex. Dave Lilley says that customer Eric Hansen wanted a special Thruxton with a real old-school retro feel. So they sourced a half-fairing and sat down with Eric and talked about a unique paint-job. Dave says: “Eric was thinking of the Gulf GT40 colours, but then liked a Lotus 7 paint scheme which goes great with the yellow cam-cover which is an original Triumph part.” The team at Lilley’s added indicators, fork gaiters, off-road pipes and re-tuned the engine to suit. The result is stunning.
