 Top dead Center August 8, 2008
I have read this book and found it quite interesting. It would be a great present for someone who was involved with racing in the 1980. It is not a technical book at all. It is stories about experiences at racetracks around the world. Very well written but as I am not from that era, I found more of a history book than anything else.
 Not quite what I expected June 5, 2008

I was really hoping that this would cover his technical and engineering realted articles that he does so well and gives the reader so much insight into the technology of motorcycling. This book is mostly concerned with people and personalities such as riders and mechanics and even manufactuers such as Mr. Honda. All well writen and very informative. But as I said there are not really any of the technical articles here.
 Best of the past February 22, 2008
If you were an avid motorcyclist in the 1960s to 1980's and followed the races you will enjoy the time capsule perspective of Kevin Cameron. It will bring back happy memories.
If you're from the recent era it provides a great perspective on how different things were yet how the same in the attitudes and tribulations of racers.
Hopefully it will make you want to look at more of Kevin's modern thoughts.
He has perhaps one of the most insightful minds in the motorcycle world.
You either like this guy or you don't January 29, 2008
Kevin Cameron writes in a uniquely odd manner but if you're a gear head or just interested in learning WHY some stuff gets done, eventually, you'll like the book. I had been reading his stuff in magazines for a long time and wondered when an all encompassing compendium of his work might surface. This would be it.
Can you read the whole thing at once? I doubt it. It's not that kind of book. You need to read it, attempt to understand what he just said, and then move on. Can't do that in one sitting for sure.
Overall, I enjoyed the read as much as the "ride" it takes you on.
