A propos du livre

Revue de presse

A successful businessman and also a very good writer, Jim Redman was awarded the MBE in 1971. This is an excellent book and an unrivalled narrative of the life of a professional road racer. --Classic Motorcycle, December 2008

The extraordinary life story of the penniless orphan and colonial adventurer who, aboard the most glamorous racing motorcycles, roared to six hard-fought World Championships and won for himself the reputation of hard man of the race track and shrewd, steely professional of the paddock. Compared to Redman, modern G.P. riders are a bunch of adolescent softies. --Andy Kershaw
