Triumph in America - A comprehensive history January 13, 2008
Lumpy Headley (USA)
I bought my first copy of this book while restoring a 1967 Bonneville T120R back in 1994. What first attracted me to it was the front cover of the 67 T120TT - the very same year and colors of the bike I was going thru, (except for being the TT version).
Having owned 7 Bonnevilles and Tiger 110's over the decades, including three pre-units and two duplex frame bikes and been a Triumph junkie since 1968, this book still taught me things I never knew about Triumph and especially the invaluable influence of Johnson Motors that contributed so much to the success of the bikes.
Strongly recommended if you want to get your history right on this most famous era of Triumph.
Understanding the Triumph motorcycle in history. April 10, 2001

I have read just about every book the covers the history and detail of Triumph motorcycles, and this book is the best I have seen. When you consider the unique marketing of the US distributors and the American concept of what a great motorcycle should be this is a must read for anyone working on a Triumph in the US. Detailed, colorful, and well written, with plenty of reference photos it is the guide for the restorer or anyone seeking to understand the the role Triumph played in making this a nation of motorcycle riders.

Lindsay Brooke has written the best book I've ever read on the passion, the guts and the glory that was the Triumph story. Seamless weaving anecdote and accolade, he has produced a masterwork. Sitting in bed well after midnight, papercuts covering my fingers, lips chapped from reading, I simply couldn't put it down.

I really enjoyed this book. It is easy reading and gives the reader and comprehensive overview of Triumph's influence in the U.S. I am considering either a 98 Thunderbird or an older Bonneville. Great reading!!
