The Intrepid sell-build guru Mark Evans takes on another challenge, attempting to restore two bikes from scratch and build a trike from a kit. Aside from the self-build challenges, the series includes some personal biking stories gathered from motorcycle fraternities around the UK. Appealing to amateurs and professionals, male and female alike, this is serious nuts and bolts action from the heart of the workshop. A Bike is Born contains the perfect ingredients for anyone passionate about motorcycles. In this volume, Mark restores a 1970 Triumph Bonneville T120R. Despite being a British marque, it was built for the American market, being despatched to the Triumph Corporation m Baltimore. Now, It's the focus of Mark Evans' second self-build challenge, which reveals aspects of its history. Affectionately labelled the 'Bonnie', it remained in production for 25 years. Mark's 'Bonnie' was found in a condition best described as "tired". Before Mark can get to grips with the construction process, he has to track down some missing parts.
