He is a very engaging conversationalist also, with an amazing recall of stuff from many moons ago. I love the story of racing Kenny Roberts for the world title in 83

Yeah I saw the Spencer book but having just ordered books by Guy Martin, John McGuinness and Michael Dunlop I thought I oughta stop before my pension ran out.
At least there's a sort of theme to the books I bought. Sorry, can't do any reviews, I haven't read them all yet.

I'll be interested in reading this one. Have a mate who was a Chemist but buggered off to work in the 'Circus' in the 80's. He was hired as go'fer in the Honda team the year Freddie won both 250 and 500.He tells lots of stories and is writing a book himself.
Another of our group has just dropped off the perch so we'll all catch up Tuesday at his send off.:weep:
But thats another story.......
