Publisher's Summary

Michael Dunlop is quite simply the greatest road racer on the planet. Brother of William, also an accomplished rider, son of the late Robert and nephew of the late great Joey Dunlop, Michael can fairly claim that racing is in his blood. Now for the first time he talks in depth about his family story, how he got involved in the family business and how he manages to keep getting back on his bike despite all he knows of the deadly risks he encounters every time he crosses the start line.

The death of his uncle during a competition in Estonia in 2000 was followed just eight years later by the death of his father at the North West 200. But despite these tragic losses, Michael was undeterred, and, two days after his father's death, he returned to the North West - and won. The next year Michael won his first TT, joining both his father and uncle in the record books.

Now with 13 TT wins to his name, Michael is a phenomenal competitor, and in this sensational autobiography he reveals the highs and lows of racing, what it was like growing up part of a motorcycle dynasty and how that made him the incredible racing driver he is today.

Great Book

Wow, thanks I greatly enjoyed the book. Anyone who rides would love this book.
Another plus was how Mike talks about his family in a way that make you feel like you are part of it sitting at their kitchen table or his uncles bar.

Get the inside scoop

This book is for anyone that has great interest in TT motorcycle racing. Michael Dunlop takes you deep into his family history, featuring the racing legends that are his father and uncle, Joey and Robert. He covers their family commitment and sacrifices to be top tier racers, the good times and bad. If you want to know what a road racer thinks, feels, believes, and what motivates them, this is a great book. If you want to hear about the challenges of being a racer - mental, physical, emotional, business and personal - this is a great book. Being a motorcyclist, I found it very entertaining as well. Enjoy!

The best book about motorcycle racers, by far

The level of honesty and humour in this book is unparalleled. Highly recommended read, and that's a recommendation coming from someone who has recently finished autobiographies of Guy Martin and John McGuinness.
