Disappointed2
This book is dedicated to the production and racing history of the Triples, but not much of it is useful. It has a few pages of color pictures, but only covers a few model years, and even the bikes pictured are not original, and have been modified.

There is only a few scant mentions of the Rocket III, and very, very little in terms of detailed info. If you are interested in the history of the racing triples this is for you. If you are looking for information for restoration purposes, keep looking. This isn't it.

Brilliant and informative bike on the history of the bikes. A must read if you are either a owner of the bikes or just interested in british bikes.
