It's a question we all asked at the time Dwight...."Where did all the money go"??
There were weeks during my time at Triumph that there was no money to pay the wages at the end of the week. At times you felt you were working for the love of the bikes....not as a job to earn money. Some of that cash from the 'glory years' would have gone down a treat during those times !!
We had spells that nobody would give any more credit to the Co-Op and we had to source parts from whoever would supply them. Many bikes went out with sub-standard parts fitted because that was all we could get !! The 'factory workshop manual' would have been useless to a home mechanic as the parts fitted to the bikes bore no relation to what the manual said should be there !!!
