Triumph recently opened a new dealership in Centurion. Resplendent in typical Triumph style it is a top-notch operation. To introduce local riders to the brand they had an open day with their range of bikes available for demo rides. Triumph boasts a great range across the various genres and the event was extremely well supported. Chatting to Ian Van Der Merwe after the event he shared that more than 140 folks had put bums on Triumph saddles, and that in the course of a Saturday morning! Coffee, cold drinks and yummy boerie rolls all went down singing hymns!
What impressed me too, was the amount of effort our friends at Motul put into the event. It was cool catching up with Jackie and the rest of the Motul crew. A range of their motorcycle products were also available to “demo”. Helmet & Visor Clean, Moto Boost & Clean, Wash & Wax Spray, Helmet Interior Clean (the Helmet & Visor Clean also comes in a pocket-sized bottle which, in my opinion, every rider should have in their jacket pocket).
The modern-day motorcyclist is truly blessed to have bespoke motorcycle and kit care products of this quality and type. I have used Motul products elsewhere to good effect too. We recently did a road trip to the Cape with my wife’s Suzuki Fronx, which included 40 odd kays of dirt road. There was a brisk breeze blowing and the car got very dusty inside when we had to hop out to open the farm gates. Irene was bemoaning the state of her car’s interior, specifically the dust-covered dash. Motul Wash & Wax Spray to the rescue. I sprayed some on a soft cloth and wiped down the dash thoroughly then rubbed it up. Voila! Restored to an as new lustre.
The bright red Motul gazebo and banners set off well against the classic Triumph Corporate charcoal colours. It all hung together to make a memorable event. Like with the Triumphs available to ride, Motul also allowed their customers to “try before they buy”. Good job to all who made it such a festive and successful occasion.
