The 3-cylinder Triumph Trident and BSA Rocket 3 were developed to
compete with Honda's forthcoming 750cc motorcycle. Initially they
did not compare well - although very fast, they lacked
sophistication and their quirky styling was offputting - and the
decision was made to suspend production. This was not the most
auspicious start, but a fightback was initiated and in 1971 the
factory race team had a triumphant year including placing 1st, 2nd
and 3rd at the Daytona 200. With over 250 photographs, the full
rollercoaster-ride history of these bikes is described, including:
how the bikes came to be, including a timeline of significant
events; a year-by-year account of the evolution of the bikes,
through the T150, T160 and Rocket 3; the story of the Hurricane;
the full racing history and, finally, the Triumph 3-cylinder bikes
today.

In 1953 Marlon Brando donned a black leather Perfecto motorcycle
jacket, military cap, denim jeans, and engineer boots to portray
Johnny, sneering leader of the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, in The
Wild One. In 1954 Tom of Finland abandoned brown leather in his
artwork to create his own wild ones: muscular, hyper-masculine,
black leather-clad rebels with powerful engines between their legs.
The look was adopted by the Satyrs Motorcycle Club, the first gay
outlaw club, that same year, making Tom's fantasy world reality. Of
course, being Tom, he soon customized his new gay icons, adding
leather jodhpurs, knee high boots and leather caps, and every
motorcycle bore the brand name "Tom" on the gas tank. Tom's bikers
first appeared as two "Motorcycle Boys" in Physique Pictorial,
Winter 1958. Another made the cover of the April 1960 issue. Bikers
dominated his PP content from then on, as a nod to its American
readership as much as his growing obsession. When he sought an
ongoing character, a personal avatar, in 1968, he created Kake as
the ultimate biker leatherman, and elaborated on his riding
adventures - of every kind - through 26-panel stories. Tom adopted
Kake's gear as his own, presenting in black leather jacket, white
t-shirt, jeans, and high boots to the end of his life. The Little
Book of Tom: Bikers includes Tom's earliest images for Physique
Pictorial, Kake in motorcycle gear, biker panel stories, and
sizzling single drawings, all packed into 192 pages of sexy,
masculine men enjoying other masculine men in black leather, blue
jeans, and high black boots. On bikes.
Initially produced as an affordable means of transport in 1947, the
Lambretta became the popular choice of Mods throughout the 50s and
60s and of course the star of the film Quadrophenia. Many thousands
of machines were produced by the Innocenti factory, a
TRX450ES (1998-2001), TRX450S (1998-2001), TRX450FE (2002-2004),
TRX450FM (2002-2004)
There has been plenty said and written about scooters over the
years, but until now there has been no definitive look at the
culture surrounding our chosen way of life. Many authors have
written about mods and the infamous and often over-hyped beach
battles of the 1960s, but hardly any have tried to capture the
atmosphere of the modern scene in print. We still owe the original
mods for fuelling the imagination of past, present and future
generations and for leaving a rich scooter heritage behind them.
Although the mod way of life was the spark which lit the fuse for
many of us, the majority of scooter riders have evolved into
lifestyle scooterists. We may not dress in a particular style, our
scooters may not be adorned with lights and mirrors, but we still
burn with the same passion as our scooter riding ancestors. It's
over sixty years since the first Italian scooters rolled off the
production lines, but there is still a buzzing and vibrant
lifestyle surrounding them. The small capacity machines have
overtaken the lives of thousands of us, often to the detriment of
everything else we hold dear. Careers, relationships and families
have suffered for this overwhelming and expensive addiction. An
addiction to which there is no cure. We live and breathe the sickly
sweet smell of synthetic two-stroke oil and worship at the altar of
our chosen gods, Lambretta and Vespa (or occasionally Gilera and
Italjet). Our hands are permanently ingrained with the oily
'tattoo's' of a thousand engine rebuilds and our major organs have
suffered the long term effects of our hedonistic lifestyle.
Including interviews with well known scootering personalities, over
150 colour photographs of award-winning custom scooters,
best-selling scooter models, and information on rallies and events,
this book is a must-have for anyone interested in these fun
machines.
SE-GL1500SE, Aspencade-GL1500A, Interstate-GL1500I
Born in Shropshire soon after the end of the First World War,
venerable motoring writer W de Forte has driven everything from his
grandfather's first Daimler, to modern-day supercars ...ridden
everything from vertiginous Victorian penny farthings, to high
velocity twenty-first century superbikes ...travelled everywhere
from the permafrost of the Arctic Circle to the baking sands of the
Baja Peninsula ...and met everyone from Tazio Nuvolari to Valentino
Rossi.W de Forte enjoyed an eventful career as a top-level
journalist, spanning 75 years, during which time he tested many
thousands of cars and reported on countless automotive events
around the world. This made him uniquely qualified to comment on
all aspects of classic and vintage motoring and
motorcycling.Relatively undimmed by age and ague, even in his
mid-90s, de Forte had no plans to retire, but, in early 2011, a
high-speed prang while testing a wayward Rudge Ulster at a racing
circuit in Belgium brought him up with a jolt, both literally and
metaphorically. After recuperating in hospital, he settled down to
write his long-awaited and much requested autobiography.This unique
and insightful book is the result.Packed with fascinating stories
about classic cars and motorcycles, A Life Awheel - the 'Auto'
Biography of W de Forte is an account of an extraordinary motoring
life, and the story of motoring in the 20th century.
The story of Moto Guzzi is a story of survival. As one of Italy's
oldest, and most legendary marques, Moto Guzzi had seen the height
of success during the 1930s, and then the 1950s when they dominated
250 and 350cc Grand Prix racing. Their withdrawal from racing
coincided with a period of stagnation until the company was sold to
De Tomaso in 1973. During the 1970s the V7 Sport and Le Mans were
at the forefront of the new superbike era, and later, with Dr John
Wittner's help, embraced contemporary technology with the 1000cc
Daytona. If one aspect characterises Moto Guzzi it is continuity.
The great 500cc Falcone single ran from 1950 until 1976, and the
V7, originally seeing the light of day in 1967, continued well into
the 2010s. This continuity breeds loyalty, and Guzzi owners are a
fiercely proud breed. Guzzis are not like other motorcycles, even
Italian ones, and to qualify as a Guzzi owner requires a dedication
and individuality that will be rewarded in a long term
relationship.

the innovative, fresh approach to British-based custom bike
building. Whether you're a Brit-bike devotee, or a fan of the
