Synopsis
Norton’s Triumph is the metamorphosis of a new motorcycle to an aging classic machine by the hands of five diverse and very different owners.
Keith is an aeronautical engineer that stumbles into love, betrayal and loss on a journey that takes him from England to Europe, Hong Kong and Singapore before he finally finds fulfillment in Australia. Josie discovers her limits and the depth of her despair in a world of social change when she becomes his wife.
Mick, Goldie and Barry develop an indestructible bond and discover the ultimate challenge, thrills and heartbreak of the world’s legendary Isle of Man TT motorcycle races.
Chris, a restless post graduate, seeks adventure and new horizons when he rides the roads of Southern Africa as the winds of change are blowing. He is repelled by the harsh apartheid attitudes but drawn to the vast beautiful landscapes, captivated by the ethereal atmosphere of the mighty Victoria Falls in fiercely independent Rhodesia. Africa gets into his blood and he has to return.
Terrorisms, diplomacy and elections have transferred Rhodesia to a new independent Zimbabwe and into the hands of a despot. If Joshua is to have a future, Iladi must assist his only son to flee the oppression of his homeland.
