Synopsis
For 100 years, the world-famous Isle of Man TT has been the supreme challenge in motorcycle road racing. The Island's tortuous 37.73-mile Mountain Course demands the utmost nerve and skill from competitors, while providing a unique and breathtaking spectacle for onlookers. In this authoritative and official centenary book, Manx-born author Mick Duckworth traces the long and rich history of the races since the first Tourist Trophy was staged in 1907. He not only describes the courageous riders and their fantastic machinery, but looks at the many people behind the scenes, the fans, the TT Festival as a whole and its impact on Island life. Includes the TT stamps bound within the title.

beautiful book
just seeing the cover-shot of Joey blasting up the mountain with Ramsey in the background was enough to sell this to me.

the contents are up to the standard of the cover too. brilliant photography, interesting text and great anecdotes from riders through the years.

this is a rare treat of a book if you have any interest in bikes at all.

the Isle of Man is the birth place of bike racing and the TT is something that you cannot do justice to without seeing it for yourself ... but this book comes close.
