Didn't Triumph produce low production boutique bikes between the 70s and 90s till Bloor could get the mass production sh*t together?



The old Triumph Co-Op actually still produced a fairly significant number of bikes once they took over operation in the mid-'70s and until the mid-'80s, Mac.

However, when that operation then too went into receivership and when Bloor purchased the rights to the marque, he did have the Les Harris company produce a small number of Bonnevilles until he got his new factory up and running in 1990, and presumably from what I understand for the purpose of being able to claim the Triumph marque had been "in continuous operation since its founding in 1902".

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
