Wait a minute. I guess your point is that even though Triumph wasn't PRODUCING motorcycles for those model years 1988-1990, one COULD make the argument that they were still "in operation", because they were in the "operation" of building a new factory...RIGHT???

(...oh, well, I suppose that's an argument which could hold more than a little water, as they say!)



Exactly. One could also say that since they were developing and manufacturing new motors and models (even through there is a break in model year bikes for two years), they were still in production.

My original point to them was that not only is Triumph the oldest continuous operating company, there were two completely different Royal Enfield companies. One that closed in 1970 and one that didn't even adopt the Royal Enfield name until 1995.
