    Book - Twisting Throttle

    Ok folks I did do a search but could not find anything about this great gem of a book twisting throttle.

    This deserves a read and if I ever meet the bloke the first thing I will be telling him is bloody good yarn, the second is this forums details.

    The website tells you a heap about the book and for those of you who are challenged by big words and used to reading soft cover pictorial things usually found in plastic wrap at the local service station its not a difficult read.

    I look forward to the next instalment if he makes it to America, and Mike if you are here I have to say step up and make yourself known.
    Its not the destination that is important its the journey.

    I met a guy who knows him at last weekend's GNCC. he had the book on him. sez you can get it at Whitcoulls. It looks like a good read with heaps of colour pictures.
