Tales of Triumph Motorcycles & the Meriden Factory Review: Tremendously entertaining - What a wonderful walk down a lane of history with an exceptional storyteller. Hancox worked in the Meriden factory from its heyday until the sad demise. He held several jobs which gave him a unique perspective which he cheerfully shares with the reader. The reader gets a real feel for what working there was like. Hancox obviously loved his job yet is not afraid to mention the failures Triumph had along the way. Some of the anecdotal tales are laugh out loud funny as well. With the author's foray riding for the White Helmets in military service additional treats await the reader. This is a fun book to read with minimal technical jargon and should appeal to anyone interested in motorcycles, British manufacturing and plain old good storytelling. Review: A terrific read! Highly recommended! - I am something of a new comer to the world of Triumph Motorcycles. As I delve in to the process of restoring my own bike (a 1966 T120R) I found myself wanting to know more about the marque and how my bike and others like it came in to being. I was delighted by this book. What I enjoyed most was the perspective that author Hancox offered in to what life in those simpler, not so long ago days was like. I was most struck by the attitude and work ethic of the people described in his stories...particularly of the early days of his career. I learned how Triumph rose to great heights by offering a good product and by genuinely caring about the people who rode them. I also gained insight in to how they met their demise. Having read these stories adds a deeper meaning to my own path of discovery as I slowly, bit by bit bring my little piece of Meriden history back to life. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #5,301,419 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #690 in Motorcycles (Books) #313,522 in History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (121) | | Dimensions | 8.13 x 0.5 x 9.88 inches | | Edition | Revised | | ISBN-10 | 1901295672 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1901295672 | | Item Weight | 1.3 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 144 pages | | Publication date | June 23, 2014 | | Publisher | Veloce | ## Images ![Tales of Triumph Motorcycles & the Meriden Factory - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xx6oeBSLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tremendously entertaining *by D***V on April 30, 2018* What a wonderful walk down a lane of history with an exceptional storyteller.

By the early 1970's we had all switched over to Japanese motorcycles for the reasons mentioned in this book. Here the author gives a personal behind the scenes look at some of the things that drove us away. This book is filled with facts, some humor, pictures, and events that happened starting around 1953 to the very end with Triumph and some of their employees, customers, and the bikes. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/12127192-tales-of-triumph-motorcycles-and-the-meriden-factory](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/12127192-tales-of-triumph-motorcycles-and-the-meriden-factory) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
