A story told by a motorcycle racing enthusiast
This is true insiders view of the world of motorcycle racing told by a lifelong racing enthusiast. What Nick Harris didn't experienced firsthand on track (he never raced) he observed from a vintage point and discussed with the main protagonists for years of presence of the most prestigious motorcycle championships. After the half mark of reading the book, I realize there is only one major flaw - it's way too short. The pictures are not that many, but are carefully selected to match the story. And the story is the really important part. I do enjoy the reading.

Definitely worth the read!
First, I would buy this book again to do over.Why only 4 stars? The first several chapters really just factually recounted the more notable events/riders/wins as MotoGP was developing. There was not the level of insight (inside stories) for which I was hoping. On the other hand, the last many chapters were a thrill to read and that may be because I didn't start following MotoGP until 2010. Mr. Harris' book elicited many good memories. Furthermore, and this is huge, with a new level of understanding I will watch all of the future GP races as I never have before -- the riders, the bikes, the support teams, the media, DORNA, and certainly the various venues. Even though the current crew does a fine job commentating, I do miss Mr. Harris' style and voice!
