TRIUMPH OVER ADVERSITY WINNER

Over the past year, some businesses have been especially affected by lockdowns and restrictions, and these include the National Motorcycle Museum. Its doors are open once again hurrah! but the museum needed to raise £500k to cover the shortfall in funding. So the NMM ran a special 'Triumph over adversity' raffle in the first half of this year, specifically to build the budget needed to re open, and the winners were drawn at the end of June.

First prize was a brand new Triumph Trident, the new for 2021 660cc triple which was kindly donated by Triumph Motorcycles. It was won by Frank Dexter, while Stephen Harris is now the envied owner of an original Triumph Trident a low mileage 1978 T160. The third Triumph in the prize line up was a 1956 T100, which had recently been 'refreshed' in the museum's workshop, and it went to a new home with winner John Taylforth.

'Very special thanks must go to our friends at Triumph Motorcycles for donating the brand new Triumph Trident; said James Hewing of the NMM. 'Along with everyone that has contributed by purchasing a raffle ticket, or given to our appeal funds in the past year, Triumph Motorcycles have been a huge support to the museum at this difficult time: Opening hours and visitor info at thenmm.co.uk
