The thrill of really high speed racing was first made available to the man in the street by the motorcycle. It was the democratic racing machine from the start and its appeal has never faded.This account tells the whole story from tentative beginnings, when motorcycles were too experimental even to race, up to the latest super streamlined record smashers, capable of terrifying speeds. Vivid text packed with facts and stories is illustrated throughout with 260 contemporary photographs of the men and their machines, many of them never before published. Every important name, and type of machine is here, every great circuit and historic event.
