Triumph - The Legend, traces the events of nearly a century of motorcycle history, from the earliest days in Much Park Street, Coventry, to the high-tech plant that is Triumph's modern factory in Hinckley, Leicestershire.  From the first puny single with a bought-in Belgian engine, through Maurice Schulte's first all-Triumph engines, early TT Successes, the advanced four-valve Ricardo model of the Twenties to the ground-breaking Speed Twin and its many derivatives.  Along the way we witness upheavals, trade slumps and takeovers, factory sit-ins and government bail-outs, utter despair and glorious re-birth.  The Legend may not be the smoothest ride in motorcycling, but it is an excellent tale.
