A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

The sight and sound of an MV-mounted John Surtees in action, at Silverstone in the late 50s, set Bob Guntrip on course for a lifetime spent on and around motorcycles. A career in journalism led to stints on bike magazines in the UK and Australia, firing the passion still further, and, despite later wanderings into cricket, rugby and science writing, it seemed inevitable that Bob would one day return to his first love. The result is this, his first book, documenting the excitement of the 1960s, one of the most dramatic decades in the history of British motorcycle sport.
