Triumph Motorcycle History
Siegfried Bettmann founded the Triumph Cycle Company in 1887 and promptly acquired premises in Coventry in which he began manufacturing bicycles. In 1902, as technology advanced, the company moved into the production of powered cycles. By 1905 the factory output had reached 500 motorcycles per year, with the machines being designed, manufactured and built at the Coventry site.
Anaheim 3 SX Preview
Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, returns to Angel Stadium this Saturday for its third and final stop in Anaheim (3) with Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Ryan Dungey and Monster Energy Kawasaki's Jake Weimer leading the AMA Supercross and AMA Supercross Lites class points races, respectively.
SX Race Report
Kawasaki rider Jake Weimer brought home his fourth win in five races at a muddy Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. With just one short practice and a deteriorating racetrack, the 22-year-old claimed the Supercross Lites victory and extended his points lead to 26 with just three races remaining in the West Coast season.
The consistent rain made for a long day at the track as the teams waited nearly six hours for practice to start. The track crew did a good job keeping the track in good shape as it improved with each session.

Honda Red Bull Racing's Davi Millsaps was back on top at Round Five (5) of the 2010 AMA Supercross series at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California on Saturday, February 6, winning aboard his Honda CRF450R.
SX Race Report
The fifth round of the AMA / FIM Supercross Championship got under way with a serious threat of rain over San Diego. The Dirt Wurx crew had secured the track at Qualcomm Stadium under plastic as the rain poured down most of the day.
Rockstar Makita Suzuki's rookie star Ryan Dungey started off early grabbing the fastest time in practice by almost a second. The gauntlet was thrown down and the other riders were left trying to figure out how to make up eight tenths of a second.
SX Race Report
With James Stewart out, Yamaha San Manuel Team's Josh Hill scored his fourth consecutive podium result and his second runner-up position in a week at a wet Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego for the fourth round of seventeen in the AMA Supercross series, also an FIM World Championship. The visit to southern California was a good one for Yamaha and the 2010 YZ450F as Valli Motorsports' Ivan Tedesco rode to third place for his first piece of silverware of the season.
