Norman Hyde will be giving a presentation on his work with Triumph motorcycles to members and invited guests of the Berkshire Branch of the TOMCC on 23 March 2023 at 8pm at the BCSA.

In 1972, he broke the World Sidecar Land Speed Record, on a Triumph Trident based machine, Road Runner III, which he built himself. His record stood unbeaten for over 35 years. In 1975, he started his own business, developing after market parts for Triumph Motorcycles. He was appointed Patron of the TOMCC in 2018.
