have recently read "stealing speed" which I really enjoyed.
I've just picked up "the nazi TT" and am enjoying it immensely and thus was wondering if there are any others that people can recommend?

Thumbs Up

well just finished the "nazi TT" it's a lot better written than "stealing speed" (which meanders off topic seemingly as and when the author has had the thought).
The only criticism I had of "the nazi TT" is there is no quibbling as to if the riders were in the organisations they were in simply because they wanted to race.

but worth a read all the same Thumbs Up

Don't know if this is of any use to you, I just typed in 'motorcycle history' in the books section of Amazon UK and a few interesting titles popped up...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=motorcycle+history

'A History of the Early Motorcycle' and 'Japans Motorcycle Wars' caught my eye.

Sorry I haven't got any recommendations though!!

EDIT: Just seen a reader review for one of them on Amazon US and sounds quite good...

Speaking of biking history. I recorded 'Twist the throttle'. On discovery turbo.

Had the history of Honda. Looking indepth at Soichiro Hond.

Very intresting.
