Re: Book recomendation
the film sucked compared to the book, plus the book gives you tips.

Charlie and Ewan did it with a load of backup , and made a film and forutne no doubt, Sam did it partly alone and partly with the girlfreind he found on the way around over 8 years , he has written 4 books about it and published them himself , and they are bloody briliant , oh and he lives in Exeter now

Re: Book recomendation
Ring of Fire by Rick Broadbent is a good read. Well funny in places, Hopper, Rossi and a few others rolling Max Biaggi's Smart car over just to pi** him off !
Re: Book recomendation
Phil Macallen - Super Mac. Helps if you went to the TT during the 90's but hilarious and sad reading about Irish road racing.
About to read it for a 3rd time.
John Britten book is also very interesting but is quite a heavy read. Totally random suggestion, Billy Lane Chop Fiction, coffee table type book as many pictures but the read is quite interesting.
