New Book: Looks Interesting!

[Paul Heim]

I read part of this story in Bike Magazine last year.  Mat (not Max!) Oxley 
wrote it and it concerns a factory MZ rider who defected following a crash 
in the Isle of Man TT.  The magazine story was good.  I imagine the book is 
at least as entertaining.  Does anyone else on the list read Bike?  The 
quality of writing and the sense of humor are fantastic!  I wish I didn't 
have to pay so much for it, but it beats the crap out of the domestic rags. 
Thank goodness for the Barnes & Noble 10% discount!

Paul in Ohio

I received this ad from a local store. It will be available here in
November for about $27, so I'll wait. It's available in the States now
from Amazon.
The motorcycle company was Suzuki.

another entertaining read for the bike crowd..."Stealing Speed - The
Biggest Spy Scandal in the History of Motorsport".   Written by Max
Oxley, this is the remarkable story of how one of Japan's biggest
motorcycle manufacturers stole a Nazi rocket scientists engine secrets
from behind the Iron Curtain to win the motorcycle power race and
conquer the world!   How's that for an intro...  might have to take the
afternoon off and start into this one.  Also hardcover, 240 pages,
$41.00.
