My very favorite motorcycle brand just so happens to be Triumph, and apparently I’m not alone in my affection for these venerable British bikes, as they do have quite the sizable following. So popular are Triumph bikes that every year they are featured and feted in an annual 4-day event at Neukirchen in Salzburg known as TriDays. This year’s motorcycle mayhem will take place between June 19-22, as part of the TriWeek event that also includes a ton of cool music acts and, this year, the wall of death.
The TriDays event is the brainchild of another Triumph fan, Uli Bree. He pronounces the British brand’s name Tree-OOm-pf, and that is awesome. Last year’s TriDays, which was the 12th one running, attracted more the 25,000 like-minded folks, and a whole herd of cool bikes.
If like me you can’t seem to make it to Salzburg this Summer you can still get a taste of what it’s like from the copious videos that will most likely be taken and shared. And, if you want to get an idea of what TriDays are all about, check out this awesome video of the Rumble – or dirt scramble – from last year’s event. It’s all set to Little Lil by Jimmy Cornett and the Deadmen. And for more information about this year’s shindig, checkout Tridays.com
