Excellent- More about Triumph Trident and BSA Rocket 3: The Complete Story

In 1971, the factory race team had a triumphant year, including placing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd at the Daytona 200. This book includes over 250 photographs and a timeline of significant events, a year-by-year account of the evolution of the bikes, the story of the Hurricane, the full racing history, and the Triumph 3-cylinder bikes today.
