  Part of a six-volume series on the once great British motor cycle industry. In volume five the author told the story of the Triumph company, in this book he gives the nuts-and-bolts detail of all the bikes, memorable machines such as Trophies, Bonnevilles and Tridents. The book combines a humorous, candid style with considerable technical knowledge, to describe the motor cycles in their various guises as well as offering suggestions on problems to watch out for and hints on how to solve them. The book concludes with an examination of two lesser known models - the Velocette and the Vincent - both linked by the fact that they benefited from the talents of Australian Phil Irving.
