Yeah will do

Just browsing through it there's a few funny statements

2nd sentence of Mike's foreword he says:

"I've seen a lot of riders badly mangled. I've seen a few killed. By comparison, I've got away with a few bumps - for 20 years"

and then on the next page after a paragraph on if you get hit or hit anything you're going to get hurt the next two questions are

"You still want a bike?" and "Want to lengthen the odds on staying in one piece?"

Inspiring stuff

Mike "the bike" Hailwood -hell yeah!!

I had (still have) a copy of Mike Hailwood's "The Art of Motorcycle Racing" in which he blithely states "you don't know where the limit is until you fall off it."

Thanks Mike. (Oh and I did eventually find it too...)

There used to be a thing called a kickstarter back in the day, stopped many a numpty riding your bike.

Shit I remember reading that when I was 15 years old - the only real comment I can recall now (almost 35 years later) is something along the lines of treat all car drivers as if they don't see you. Would love to see the PDF
