Run over the every-day roads of the Isle of Man for over 100 years,
the world-famous Tourist Trophy races have gripped the imaginations
of successive generations of motorcyclists. From the earliest days
of single-speed, belt-driven machines delivering 5 bhp, to the
highly developed projectiles of today offering a fearsome 200 bhp,
race fans have thronged the roadside banks and watched in awe as
the best racing motorcyclists in the world rode the fastest
machines of their day around the twists, turns and climbs of the
374 mile Mountain Course, all in pursuit of a coveted Tourist
Trophy. This new updated edition covering the 2007 - 2012 races,
reveals the event's colourful history through the high-speed
activities of great riders such as the Collier brothers, Geoff
Duke, Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini, Steve Hislop, Joey Dunlop,
John McGuinness and many others. It also looks at the machines and
mechanical developments and race organisation, plus the financial
rewards and commercial interests; setting them all in the context
of the triumphs and tragedies of a great sporting event that has
seen average lap speeds rise from 40 mph to over 130 mph.
