Watched a 2003 Triumph MC doc on Prime TV last night made in 2003 by Liam Dale, some of you may have seen it before. One salient point made by Liam Dale about the early days 1902/03 was how it opened up travel to the British and how it changed their world. Rather then paraphrase I will quote him
"It was instrument of social change for the first time in history the common man could afford to travel and explore new horizons. No longer was the village idiot a tragically inevitable accident at birth. As with the bicycle came the opportunity for people to move around the country side consequently the gene pool strengthened and the working classes became a strong and intelligent force to be recon with"
It goes on from there but I was wetting myself laughing I missed the next bit all the way up to the 1930s or maybe he skipped over a couple decades but that is when I caught up to it.
Triumph motorcycles, who knew they had such an influence.
