Used Triumph Motorcycles For Sale
Triumph motorcycles have been manufactured for just over 100 years now, and the company has been a major presence since the beginning. Like many UK companies, Triumph saw hard times in the 1970s. Government policy and competition from Japan seemed destined to assign Triumph to the history books. But, they came roaring back ten years later to reclaim their proper place in the pantheon of bike makers.

Motorcycles in the Military
The other day, I took the chance to watch again that fantastic movie 'The Great Escape'. As I watched Bud Ekins take the place of Steve McQueen, to jump the wire fence on his Triumph, I began to wonder about the role of the motorcycle during wartime, so I did a little reading and was surprised to find that motorcycles have played a huge part in military history. Being able to go where other vehicles couldn't, they became the modern day horses, with one great advantage; some bikes, such as the Enfield 'Flying Flea' or 'Airborne' as it was also known, could be parachuted from an aeroplane along with troops.
