NEW MotoGP Book!

Motorbooks, the world's leading motorcycle (and automotive, racing, heavy equipment and truck) book publisher is coming out with a brand new book this fall.

Grand Prix Motorcycle Racers: The American Heroes by Norman DeWitt will arrive on shelves in September.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Until the 1970s, North America was considered a backwater with respect to world championship–level motorcycle road racing, a place where provincial hillbillies rode around in circles on tracks made of dirt. That all changed when Kenny Roberts exploded onto the Grand Prix racing scene and became the first American to win the world championship in motorcycle road racing’s premier class. Roberts’ success launched an era of American dominance that lasted for nearly 20 years and still echoes through the annals of the sport. This is the story of the legendary American riders, including Freddie Spencer, Eddie Lawson, Wayne Rainey, Kevin Schwantz, Kenny Roberts Jr., and the most recent American world champion, Nicky Hayden.

I highly suggest any members on the forum take advantage of this! it sounds like a very cool book to read, get yours as soon as it comes out before it's sold out.
