Description:
TR3OC National Rally Celebrates 50 Years of Triumph Trident T160
Newark Showground 30th & 31st August 2024
On 7th December 1974 the first of the iconic Triumph Trident T160s, T160 00257, was built at Small Heath, Birmingham, UK. Significant upgrades to the specification of its predecessor, the T150 Trident, included 3-into-4-into-2 exhaust system, rear disc brake, electric start, a forward-canted cylinder block and uprated emissions controls to satisfy increasingly stringent regulations.
Originally slated to be called the “Thunderbird III” it was ultimately named the “Trident T160” following alleged complaints regarding trade name violations!
The TR3OC celebrates this important 50th anniversary, 1974 to 2024, at their annual National Rally at the Newark Showground, Nottinghamshire, UK, NG24 2NY on 30th and 31st August 2024.
The National Rally will feature camping with a limited supply of power hook-ups on the nights of Friday 30th and Saturday 31st August priced at £23.40 for rally ticket holders only. Other attractions include a treasure hunt ride-out with prizes, autojumble, bike displays with trophies for category winners, a raffle, a band and guest speaker Mick Duckworth, the well-known motorcycle journalist. The TR3OC’s acclaimed films in the “BSA and Triumph Triples: The People, The Bikes, The racing” will be screened. There will be catering and bar. A rally badge featuring the Trident T160 is available for rally ticket holders.
Rally tickets are £35 and day tickets without camping, meal or badge are £15. A meal on Saturday night is included in the rally ticket price. Non-vegetarian and vegetarian options will be available.
