The Triumph Factory: Holy Ground of Motorcycles

Tucked away in the middle of England, about halfway between London and Manchester, sits the town of Hinckley. It’s unclear when it was founded, but its recorded history goes back to Anglo-Saxon times, which ended in 1066.

A bit more recently, in 1988, Triumph Motorcycles Ltd set up shop next to a canal on the western edge of town. The company has been making gorgeous motorcycles ever since.

The story of Triumph motorcycles begins as you walk in from the parking lot. Bricks set into the pathway tell tales of famous Triumph bikes and riders throughout the years.
