OK, someone suggested it wasn't covered... rather than stars on Triumphs, how about document Triumphs in Movies or TV Shows.

You have to name the movie/show and post at least one picture showing the Triumph in a scene. If you can identify the model, bonus points. (Of course you know the famous ones, we'll leave those as low-hanging fruit for someone...).

I'll start...

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - Hagrid flies/rides Triumph (heard it is a 1959 T120 but not confirmed...) to deliver baby Harry to new home at the Dursleys at Number Four, Privet Drive.

Now this is the best bike movie ever Bar none( watched 8 times now and all family love it and not into bikes). And it features the Thunderbird shown and a 1959 Bon, as well as Commandos, tigers, BSA"s plus plus plus. pretty sure this earns more points than harry potter and hagrids bike is a tiger or T/bird for sure (Pre 59 even)

I'm not much for video games, but one came with my PS3. There is a good chase scene with a modern Bonnie and Speed Triples in Metal Gear Solid 4. You don't get to control it. It happens at a point in which a mini movie takes over. You do however, get to ride bitch and shoot at bad guys.

roadside prophets...the character played by adam horovitz (of the beastie boys) rides a bonnie (think it's like a 68 or 69)
Click to expand...

Roadside Prophets was on the Independent Film Channel (Ch 550 - Direct TV) a couple of nights ago. I watched parts of it. Not too bad. 1968 Bonnie if I believe...

I can't believe nobody has mentioned The Great Escape or Magnum Force.

In both cases, the triumph was used as a stand-in for a different bike, in the Great Escape it was a stand in for BMW R71 or something. Elkins and McQueen both rode a Triumph TR6 Trophy.

In Magnum Force, the cops were riding Moto Guzzi californias, but for the end stunts on the aircraft carrier, a Triumph 500cc T100 Tiger was used.

Bonneville America dot com has a pretty good listing of movies that use Triumph bikes.
