Hi Guys! :wave As I mentioned to a few of you who attended the Northumberland meet this year, there's going to be another world record attempt for the most Triumph motorcycles in a parade. We beat the record in Stoke last July with 362 Triumphs in the procession. :eusa_clap
Australia were unsuccessful in trying to beat the record in January, so the organizers are going to try & put the record well out of reach this year! The attempt will be held in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire on Sunday September 4th. You'll find all the information & details of how to register by following this link:- http://staffordshirebikeshow.co.uk/worldrecord/
Hopefully we can get as many of you guys as possible along to the event and have a good turn out from the Tigertriple.com contingent, break a world record & raise some money for charity as well! :notworthy
Look forward to seeing you there! :thumbsup
Kin ell, thats the weekend Im up in Northumberland, bugger!

Registering doesn't take long and you'll be helping to support a worthwhile charity at the same time! :thumbsup
Look forward to meeting up with those that are registered and hopefully some of the rest of you in a couple of weeks time! :wheel

Update Guys! 524 Triumph riders are now registered for next Sunday's world record attempt (Sunday September 4th) & if everyone turns up we should easily smash last year's record! :wings
If any of you still fancy joining in and becoming part of the proceedings then you have until noon on Friday September 2nd to register. :icon_cool:
For those who are already registered you should have submitted your donations by now. (You can leave it until the day if you like, it just speeds up the process on the day if you do it beforehand)
We should all have our registration times and instructions for the day very shortly, so I look forward to meeting up with you guys on Sunday! :icon_salut:

Latest email now say 555 riders. My check-in time is 09:20. :wheel
Mine is 9.00am but being local means no need for an early start.If you do the last part of the journey on the A6097 watch out for the average speed cameras,they go on for miles.
Even more local, bunking at the Clifton :friday
A good job we are. How they expect someone from two hundred miles away to get there by 09:30 is a bit wishful.

I had my fill of early starts as a train driver. :cp
My registration is at 09:40 but I'll be knocking on the door of the Clifton for a cuppa about 08:15! :icon_biggrin:
See you all on Sunday fellas & don't forget to read your rules of engagement!! (Just so we get it right 1st time!) :augie :thumbsup
08:20 for me. Might just take tent and head down sat night as google maps shows massive park land just of that roundabout. That or early start idk.
Anyone be heading down from yorkshire ?
09.20 for Chester crew... see yall there :)
Massive turn out. Be good to watch video of it roll by. Plenty tigers but only three steamers. Saw two heading south as I was heading home on motorway. Bounced down m18 a1 to boot but least ride attempt was bone dry. Any pics? Vids?
Cracking day and great to see the gang again. Looking forward to browsing You Tube for the the many vids being made. Organisation was top class and everyone behaved themselves so hopefully the record is on :icon_biggrin:
Had a quiet ride home with not too much traffic but then a bit of fun in the last 7 miles. I saw three sets of lights catching me fast just before the Swaffham roundabout. Front one looked like a 1050 Speed Triple. I carried a bit of speed into the roundabout but bearing in mind my new tyres hadn't been properly scrubbed so stayed wide on the left side in case he tried to duck under me and lay it over my front on the exit. But he didn't so I thought, "Right then lets see what you've got" he was going for it but couldn#t quite get on terms; the Explorer had the grunt up the hill to leave him behind. It turned out he was going my way though and stopped alongside at the traffic lights in Swaffham. He was laughing and shouted across, "I thought you were an 800, but when you fucked off up the hill I realised it must be the 1200". :*&* He kept me honest all the way home although I wasn't pushing really hard. AS I said, what a cracking day :XXsunsmile
Well what a day! Over 677 Triumph riders registered for the record attempt but I think there must have been many more than that! :bug_eye
As well as that, even some of our old forum friends turned up to take part! (It was really good to see you guys! :notworthy)
The weather was kind to us :*(for attempt at least!) and it all went off without any drama! :wings
So now we wait for the photographic evidence to be adjudicated by Guinness, unfortunately this is something that can take up to 4 weeks! :icon_rolleyes:
I've attached some photos from the event. (If the link works! :icon_scratch:) Thanks to Mr Stenhouse for the additional photos and when I get a chance, there'll be some video to follow as well! :thumbsup Thanks to Sin for the coffee that well & truly got everyone's engines started up before we set off! :icon_cool: and Blacktiger for doing a sterling job of finding a pub for lunch. (Even if we did have to pay for parking! :icon_frown:)
I managed to meet up again with Rhys Lawrey who was there hoping to bag yet another world record to add to his collection! :icon_biggrin:
Once again, many thanks to the forum members that attended (you know who you are!) and everyone who showed up on the day to help try and break a world record but also to raise money for a very worthwhile charity! :icon_salut: (The children's brain tumour research centre!) Jessica Simpkin, the young lady who's name fronts the charity even turned up to cheer us all on! :><
The thought of those hundreds of riders coming from all over the country for this event is really amazing! Good on you lads and lassies a grand effort even if we don't break the record! :thumbsup

Yep, as said above. Good to catch up with the Tiger crew and a really good weekend.

Yeah 5:47 sees Graeme with me just behind. Poor quality vid so it all a blur.
Unfortunately some people have published videos showing the massive gaps left by some after they'd made the turn at the top. Doh! :m
Now that is what I call a turn out. :) Looks nice.

Hi guys, :wave Look out for an e mail with latest information about the status of the record attempt in your e mailboxes. In the e mail there are various links to footage & photos taken on the day! :icon_cool:
Here's a link to the drone footage from the event as a taster! :thumbsup
https://vimeo.com/183101725
Still awaiting adjudication from Guinness on the attempt, :icon_rolleyes: but I reckon this has to be amongst the best photos from the day! :icon_biggrin:
We did it! :>< :thumbsup :wings
The organizers Staffordshire Triumph will be in touch shortly about how to get a personalized copy of the world record certificate. :icon_cool:
Well done to all those who took part! :icon_salut:
Yay, I enjoyed it, was a good weekend with good mates, roll on the next bash.
Hi Gents, :wave A quick update for those who took part. You should have an e mail from Staffordshire Triumph (had mine on Thursday) detailing how to apply for a copy of your own personalised 'certificate of participation' from Guinness as a momentous of the event. :icon_cool:
The supplied link will take you to the Guinness online shop & it will guide you through the process of purchasing (if you want to) your very own Guinness world record certificate of participation. :wings
Once again I'd like to thank you all for taking part not only in a little bit of history making but also helping to raise funds for such a worthwhile cause! :thumbsup
https://1drv.ms/i/s!ArlX01XTCm6AgupQkzSj7XhU3l8ZWA
Good for all you stalwart chaps who were able to attend. That'll show the HD crowd! :icon_lol: And in a good cause, too.
Oh Yeeeha! Come on, post yours up.

I was really gutted when I couldnt take part in this last year, it was the start of our Holiday up in Cumbria.
But how about this, the guys at Stafford Triumph gave me a couple of freebies when I picked up the new bike last week, one of them was this:
