 Riding Man
This is a very good motorcycle genre book.The author used a bit of a novel
approach in constructing it,but I enjoyed it.
This is not a fiction novel. So you would really probably only understand it
with any depth if you have a reasonably strong motorcycle background.
Anyone who's ever been into motorcycle racing and wished they could or actually did it will like this book.
 Awesome
I have to admit, I race motorcycles. So, right off the bat I was interested in this book. However, once I got to actually reading it, I found that it is a very well written story. It doesn't just cover his racing. He also talks about his job, a little about his family, and a lot about the culture on the Isle of Man. His writing style is funny and insightful. He's just a fairly average guy who chases his dream.
Even if you aren't very interested in motorcycles, I highly reccomend this book.
Zen racing between the hedges, and walls, and trees, and....
I'm not done with the book yet and it's already making me re-evaluate how I live life. Making me itch to do something more than just work to live/ride. I too have a passion for motorcycles, and racing. The TT and it's heroes(Mike the Bike, Joey, McCallen, DJ) always like real people who do extra-ordinary things. Mark is one of them, to me. I'd love to see a follow up book of his sketches of the course.
Great Read
This was a great follow up to One Man's Island the documentary that Mark Gardiner did.
Compelling and fascinating
I concur with the first review, this is an amazing book about a guy who understands that he is pursuing a crazy dream, and he makes the reader understand why, and walks the reader through the staggering difficulties. There is a DVD of this story, which I am going to get.
