[Iconic944ss]

While on the xmas thread I thought I'd share my current enthusiasm of biking type books.

Last year it was 'Long Way Round' and their inspiration of 'Jupiters Travels' by Ted Simons.

Recently, I've just finished Niall MacKenzie's autobiog and enjoyed that.

Now I'm reading one of the sequils to Jupiters Travels, 'Riding High'. Its meant to cover some of the untold stories but I'm finding it hard going in places and fasinating in others.

I've also got a good deal from Amazon on a Book called "Sport riding Techniques" which I'm quite looking forward to reading, hopefully here is a link to similar stuff from them:

Anyone else suggest any other good reads at all?

Cheers - Frank

MotoGP Season Review 2006
There may have been a more dramatic season of motorcycle racing than MotoGP 2006 gave us, but no-one can quite remember when that might have been. A year that saw some great racing and some genuine shocks.
