Took advantage of the sunshine for a ride to Peel today. I guess they're getting the Leece museum ready for summer opening & a couple of unusual bikes had been pushed outside
No, not the 400/4! Next to it is a TWN Cornet
Never heard of it, but it seems Siegfried Bettmann, who founded Triumph in the UK then set up Triumph in his native Germany, later changing the name to Triumph Werke Nürnberg, or TWN. The other bike is an Aermacchi Harley Davidson Sprint, something Harley created in '69 after purchasing Aermacchi in attempt to compete with the Japanese.
Summer's coming & soon be a lot more interesting bikes on the road
