You know that God rode a Triumph with open pipes "His Triumph could be heard throughout the land." Proud (past) owner of a 1973 Bonneville 750 and a 1958 chopped pre- unit 500. |

The legendary BSA/Triumph X75 Hurricane, a Rocket III variant, may be the coolest looking British motorcycle ever built. In comparison, the new Triumphs look more like rocks than rockets. http://www.ultimatemotorcycling.com/...rrican%204.jpg .....and yes, with motorcycles, looks count! nb |

Marc One of the heartiest laughs of my life came when a friend of mine, was trying to convince a friend of ours (after a few pints), that the reason BSA was called BSA was because where and how they were made. He claimed they were made in a small area of the UK, by people of short enough stature so that they could work on the bikes while standing up beside them. The workforce took advantage of the area's preponderance of people with short limbs, making them very good at wiring and fitting the bikes during assembly. That was the reason the factory was called the Birmingham Small Arms Company.... you had to be there... |
