Reviews
"An invaluable resource for any collector, restorer, or just a fan of these fabulous two-stroke motorcycles." British Dealer News "It's an excellent read and a guide to the entire background and history of these amazing machines that are now highly coveted by collectors and Triples fans. It was worth the wait!" webbikeworld.com "This personal intimacy stands out in the 160 pages of this hardback volume with good use being made of period images and brochures, magazine covers as well as some nicely detailed modern shots of restored bikes, both static and in action. The excellent layout allows you to dip in and out of the book at will to research particular areas should you wish to use it as a reference work." inter-bike.co.uk " it certainly strikes us as a decent book, honestly written, acceptably designed and priced reasonably.
