Summary:
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Never Tell you Never, written and read by Nick Harris.
‘The unmistakable tone of voice of Moto GP’ – Valentino Rossi
As ‘The Tone of voice’ of motorcycle racing for 40 years, commentator Nick Harris became the biggest celebrity not on two wheels in the paddock, which is his mostly eye-witness, white-knuckle accounts of MotoGP’s scorching seventy-year background.
The storyplot starts for the Isle of Man in 1949, when Geoff Duke, along with his slicked-back hair and one-piece black about Never Say Never: THE WITHIN Story from the Motorcycle World Championships leathers, became the country’s hero, defying the odds and winning one of the most harmful race in the world on a British-built Norton. Simply over ten years later at Mallory Park, another British champion and one of the greatest riders ever Mike Hailwood screamed past a Nick Harris on his 250cc Honda, and a life-long interest was born.
Harris continues to be at the center of the sport for decades, learning the riders while people, seeings feuds unfold, champions made, professions and sometimes lives ended. We’ll start to see the biggest podium celebrities close up, from Barry Sheene and Kenny Roberts to Valentino Rossi, and we’ll meet the mechanics in it, the producers who poured millions into the teams, as well as the organisers who, in the early days, ruthlessly affected rider safety for income. The drama offers often been as tense from the track as onto it.
This is the book the motorcycling world has been waiting for.
