Arrived today from the UK. Its a nice hardcover book, but $57 for a Haynes Manual? Whatever happened to the almighty dollar

What is a Haynes manual? Do I need one?

For whoever plans to touch the motorbike even only with a screwdriver it is a MUST HAVE. It is much cheaper than the factory manual and much more “user friendly”. All the explanations are very clear.

For the rest of us who don’t have the skills, the tools, the space, the time etc. it is NICE TO HAVE to get acquainted with the “guts” and understand how it works.

I got mine from Merlin Books for £16.99 ($32.00)

Who did you buy it from? You can get the Bonnie manual direct from Haynes, or from Jenks, or Amazon UK for less than $40 plus post. I've heard the first print run was sold out at that Haynes is doing another run. Some people complain about inaccuracies in Haynes manuals but I've been using them since they came out with their first bike manual in the '70s (BSA A7/10) for all my bikes can cars and find them very very helpful.

Thanks ! That was too cheap to pass up. They're backordered but i'm in no hurry. $28 and change with shipping and now i can put that worthless triumph manual on the shelf ! It's all coffee and grease stained anyway.......when something is that worthless you tend to be careless with it. :-D

By the way, i called them today and they said there are like 100 preorders in line and the next shipment is on the way and will just fill those. But the good news is there is also a 2nd order on the way just after that, so if you order one you should have it next week. Can't wait to see how well it's detailed compared to the triumph manual.
