DOWNLOAD EBOOKBeginning life in 1887 as a bicycle manufacturing company, The Triumph Cycle Company went on to become today's Triumph Motorcycles Limited. Since motorcycle production commenced in 1902, the Triumph factory has produced thousands of classic designs and is regarded as being producers of some of the world's finest motorcycles, from the original Bonneville in 1959 to today's models. The Triumph name is one of the most enduringly popular names in motorcycling. It is an evocative title, one that conjures up all sorts of powerful imagery while the word itself--triumph literally means to win. Triumph the motorcycle maker has for the most part in its 100-plus years been a success story; a triumph, in fact. The idea of British Motorcycles Triumph is to celebrate, through a selection of images, that success story. This fascinating little book contains over 175 images from the archives allowing others to see some of the best Triumph pictures that have been taken over the years. Nothing clever or complicated has been attempted here--though the book is split into time period sections, which is as far as we've gone in "organizing" things. We've even left the images in their raw untouched form, complete with period markings.
