Beschreibung
In the late 1950ââ. â. ¢s John Surtees was the dominate rider in top-level British and European motorcycle racing. A precocious talent, he began riding competitively on Vincents in the early 1950ââ. â. ¢s, then REGs and NSUs and Nortons A precocious talent, he began riding competitively on Vincents in the early 1950ââ. â. ¢s, then REGs and NSUs and Nortons. The technical side of Surteesââ. â. ¢s career - the bikes he rode and his considerable skills as a mechanic and engineer - is covered in detail. The book gives a fascinating insight into the intense motivation that often gave Surtees the edge over his rivals and laid the foundation for the success that followed. In many ways Surtees is the precursor of later generations of fiercely dedicated, perfectionist riders like Kenny Roberts Snr and Mick Doohan, and the time is right for a reassessment of his contribution to the sport.
