How to Restore Triumph Trident T150/T160 & BSA Rocket III: YOUR step-by-step colour illustrated guide to complete restoration (Enthusiast's Restoration Manual)

If you are an accomplished motorcycle restorer then you probably won’t need this book, but if you are the owner of one of these magnificent machines with an average level of mechanical prowess, then this is a great book to help you along the restoration/renovation journey.Chris details his path through the joys and challenges that working on a motorcycle of this age can bring us all. He admits his mistakes (and helps you avoid them) and deals with the challenges he faced first hand in the restoration of two of these machines.Thoroughly recommended from someone that read the book cover to cover before embarking on his own restoration project. Be warned though, the book is the cheapest part of the process, you will need a deep pocket to get everything just right, but the joy of riding the fruits of your efforts is absolutely priceless.Finally, what this book did most of all was inspire me to go for it myself rather than giving the challenge to a professional. The result was far better than I could ever have dreamt of, and for that I owe the author a big debt of gratitude.

I have a T160 Trident amongst other classics so I bought this book on the basis that Chris Rooke also wrote a similar book about restoring his E-Type, which I also own. The content is practical and written by a good amateur enthusiast. Each chapter includes a lessons learned section which could save the restorer time as a result the content is easier to follow than a workshop manual. A workshop manual and a parts book is still good to have.At first glance it covers the T150 model extensively with a good section on the T160 also.

Entertaining, honest and informative book. Nice to know that I'm not the only one buying bikes that usually break down on the way home .

I purchased this book for my husband who had seen it advertised in a bike magazine. The right up they gave read very well and he thought It would be worth having to help him with any future restorations he might do. When he opened it he was very impressed with how it was written and the pictures that went with the instructions. A very good purchase.

An excellent in-depth informative book that compliments and enhances the original workshop manual with additional information on how not to do things! All presented with a tongue-in-the cheek sense of humour and further enhanced by very useful and continuous updates available through the authors website.

This is for a Christmas present
