I’ve read Hutchys and was very disappointing. Told me little about the racer.
Got McGuinness book today.
Would like a copy of Dunlop’s next.
Racers autobiographies.

Re: Racers autobiographies.
Read Aaron Slight’s, signed copy.
Doohans
Casey Stoner
Guy Martin
Barry Sheen (biography, very hard read but interesting)
Enjoyed them all for different reasons, but Guys is my favourite. Plan to get some of his others.

Re: Racers autobiographies.
Ive read Whithams, Foggys, Guys and enjoyed all of them. Whithams probably being my favourite. I gave up with Hutchys, just found it was written so poorly, I like the bloke but he writes like he speaks and that just didn't work imo.
A really good bike book worth a read is "that near death thing" by Rick Broadbent - Its about the TT and was mainly written during the 2010 year but I really enjoyed that.

Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

Re: Racers autobiographies.
I've only read one of Guy's books and Whitham's book. Both decent reads but Whitham is funnir.

Re: Racers autobiographies.
Yup I read “That Near Death Thing” as well, really enjoyed it. Also read “Stealing Speed” about how the Japs got the expansion chamber technology from a defecting Russian racer, learnt lots and a really good read.Cavetroll87 wrote:Ive read Whithams, Foggys, Guys and enjoyed all of them.
