Go on the ride of your life with the racing legend himself

**with a thrilling NEW CHAPTER on John’s dramatic 2017 crash**

‘Then I was there myself, just another face in the crowd, watching the bikes fly by. The smells, the noise and the speed were all there for me to experienceIt was like a massive injection in my head and it just blew my mind. I knew within seconds that I was going to be a TT racer. I didn’t know how or what I was going to have to do to achieve this, and my dad wasn’t going to be keen. Everyone around me was aware of the dangers, but from that moment I knew I had to do it.’

This thrilling autobiography gets into the head of the man who stares death in the face, and doesn’t even flinch.
