Triumph Trophy Bible - A great book for the enthusiast
I have owned four Triumph machines, a Trophy TR5, a Tiger 110, a TR6 Saint and a Bonneville. Having this book as a birthday present has given me the opportunity to see some of these motorcycles again - many great photographs and lots of data regarding all aspects of the various models of the Trophy.
It has given me some ideas what I might aspire to if my lottery numbers come up!
Thoroughly recommended to all Triumph enthusiasts - indispensable if you love the Trophy models.

It's a real Bible!
I'm a recent Triumph fan and this book was an effort to know this world more. This book is amazing in that sense, it gives you an awareness of those days after WWII when those guys at the Meriden factory were developing this simple yet amazing machine. The first part of the book focuses on the history behind developing the Trophy, from the pre-war models to the final ones in the 80s. Its very interesting to know all those details from the people that were involved and commited in making this bike one of the best of its time.
The second part of the book deeply enumerates the technical details of each Trophy model since the 1st one in 1949 till the ones in the seventies. The level of detail is amazing, going to the dimension of every piston or valve from each of these models. For me it was a pity not to include the 250 model since it was the model I was looking to buy!
In summary, this book was very helpful and is definetly a reference for every Triumph fan.

Triumph Trophy, Woolridge.
Lots of useful detail but would be even better if it also covered the Tiger 100 (pre-unit) and 110 models. (I also possess the similar Speed Twin & Thunderbird bible but that doesn't cover these popular models either.)
