OK so I’m doing a Triumph factory tour in a group of about 14 and were coming to final assembly point. A guy comes out of a door to my left and leaves the door slightly open. I can see a frontal view of a rocket, and two things strike me. Firstly it’s red but not a red I have seen before and secondly it’s on a centre stand. I have a look around and nobody’s watching me. So I leave the group and enter the room.
The bike has the same engine layout that we have but it’s a four cylinder. I also notice that it has an oil cooler, plus two tail pipes either side their slightly splayed and slightly upswept kind of similar to the 750 Hurricane of years gone by. I walk around the other side of the bike and to my surprise its belt driven. I also notice that the bear claw has gone. On one of the walls is a white board and it reads……….

I suddenly become aware of somebody at my side …… It’s my wife and I say to her I’m gob smacked. She say’s to me you will be if you don’t finish hanging that wallpaper by tonight your like a tit in a trance.
