Written by an enthusiast with many years' experience of working on classic British motorcycles, this book covers the complete dismantling, refurbishment, and rebuilding of two Tridents: a 1973 Triumph T150V and a 1975 Triumph T160. This immensely helpful book covers all parts of the rebuild in great detail; parts that other manuals gloss over, leaving the restorer confused and frustrated. From the simplest of jobs, such as removing the fuel tank, through to detailed explanations of rebuilding the engine and carburettors, this manual is an absolute must for any enthusiast contemplating working on their Triumph or BSA triple. Over 650 colour photographs and detailed text descriptions clarify every stage ... engine, gearbox, clutch, electrics, frame, wheels, forks, swinging arm, brakes, instruments ... the whole bike! Highly readable and entertaining, the author readily admits to the various pitfalls and mistakes he makes in order for others to avoid them. Designed to sit alongside existing workshop manuals, this book is intended to help the owner complete a full restoration of their beloved triple. Essential garage literature!

Chris was born in Oxford and grew up in a family devoted to all things mechanical, but especially engines and motorbikes. He owned his first bike aged 11 - a Raleigh Runabout - quickly followed by a couple of scooters. When he turned 16, he realised his dream of becoming a 'Biker' ... on a Casals moped!
From these humble beginnings, his love of British bikes blossomed, owning and rebuilding a BSA Starfire, a Triumph T100, a Matchless G3LS, and a Bonneville T140V - before he finally returned to his teenage dream: the Triumph Trident.
Chris's experiences in restoring the Triumph Trident, a Kawasaki Z1, and a Norton Commando have led him to write three Enthusiast Restoration Guides, published by Veloce, as well as an 'Essential Buyer's Guide".
