This is a comprehensive, visual history of the motorcycles from Britain that were bred in the US and Canada. Tuck in with Triumph Motorcycles in America and get ready for the ride of a lifetime. Triumphs have been part of North America's motorcycling soul since long before World War II. Born in Britain but bred in the US and Canada, Triumph's iconic models--Bonneville, Trophy, Thunderbird, Daytona, Tiger, Speed Twin, Speed Triple, and Rocket III--resonate deeply with enthusiasts who love their style, sound, performance, and undeniable coolness. It's not coincidental that Triumph was Steve McQueen's favorite ride. Triumph Motorcycles in America is packed with thorough, entertaining text, plus hundreds of historical images, most of them in colour and never before published. This incredible volume of history and culture was written by award-winning professional journalist and lifelong Triumph fanatic Lindsay Brooke, with a foreword by America's favourite "Triumph guy," Peter Egan. Don't think twice about it, Triumph Motorcycles in America is a must-have for every fan of Britain's most legendary bike brand.
