In turn, the worst section was, of course, German highways – rainy weather and cold did not set a positive mood for the long and boring runs between refueling. Fortunately, the new Tigers are very comfortable motorcycles. So they allowed us to travel quickly and efficiently sneak through the continental part of Western Europe.
We also visited the Triumph factory and immersed ourselves in the history served by the Triumph Factory Experience. This place is a definite point on the "bucket list" for every motorcyclist.
It's hard to choose one machine in the museum that made the biggest impression on me. Certainly, communing being in the presence of the motorcycle from the movie "The Great Escape" is an unforgettable moment, but the first Bonneville, or the first three-cylinder Triumph, are also gems that make the eyes of motorcycles enthusiast spark stronger.
The United Kingdom made a very positive impression on us. Friendly people, casual visits to the Goodwood Revival festival, sleeping in the wild (although it's quite hard in England), beautiful nature, interesting culture and delicious local beer. There is still a lot to see, so we intend to return to the Islands as soon as possible, maybe even this year. We are looking forward to do it!”
