To clarify my recommendation, you implied you were looking for "TA/SM for dummies". As a very basic wrencher myself, the Haynes is "better", but I like having both. Any mechanic that already knows how to do stuff is going to say the factory manual is better or comes first. You can probably look at both of them at your local Triumph dealer.
I haven't run into any wrong information in the Haynes pertaining to the work I've done. I have an 05 and the "Issue 4" of the factory manual. Just about everything I've looked up has been exactly the same. The earlier factory manuals have different specs on things like stock jets, and a few other changes that were made in following years.
