'Then I was there myself, just another face in the crowd, watching
the bikes fly by. The smells, the noise and the speed were all
there for me to experience. It was like a massive injection in my
head and it just blew my mind. I knew within seconds that I was
going to be a TT racer. I didn't know how or what I was going to
have to do to achieve this, and my dad wasn't going to be keen.
Everyone around me was aware of the dangers, but from that moment I
knew I had to do it.' John McGuinness is one of the all-time giants
of road racing, with a huge host of victories to his name. But his
easy humour and down-to-earth attitude off the bike have always
kept people guessing: what's the truth about the man inside the
helmet, that has kept him at the top of such a sport for over 20
years? His autobiography tells the whole story, from his humble
beginnings in Morecambe and getting his first bike at the age of 3,
to working as a bricklayer and cockle fisherman before deciding to
follow his dream, and finally to his many victories in the most
dangerous sporting event on the planet. He tells of what it takes
to be a champion in such an exacting sport, and to keep winning
even though all logic tells you to stop - and when so many of your
fellow racers are paying the ultimate price for doing it. This
thrilling autobiography gets into the head of the man who stares
death in the face, and doesn't even flinch.
