Neat, I still like that Garage company bike. It was on Ebay, didn't sell, wonder what they eventually got for it. "If it ain't long, it's wrong!"

my only complaint is they alwaysw leave out that vital 7yr period between 1983 and 1990 ... alot of Trumpet Stuff happened during that time...I gues you could compare that period to HD's AMF bowling ball years.....

Even though Triumph filed bankruptcy, John Bloor rescued the company. He contracted Les Harris to continue building Bonnies, in order to stay in continious production (Since 1902!)
