Ã‚Â« on: October 04, 2007, 08:00:26 PM Ã‚Â» Reply with quoteQuote I got word today that where I work was awarded a new contract with Triumph motorcycles. We will be making approx. 15,000 parts that will go on their new model coming out in 2008 or late 2007. The bike will be feature a 1500cc in line 2 cyclinder engine with a belt drive. This will be their first year with a belt drive. I haven't seen pictures or anything yet, but we are in the PPAP process with them already. Maybe they will sell me one at cost ! (Yeah Right) LOL I think it's cool that we finally get a chance to make something outside of the automotive industry. Even though it a very small order, at least we are moving into new worlds !!!! and further down the page they describe it as a 2 clyinder in the 1500 range anyway thanks to the Honda guys.
