John Reynolds: The Autobiography - Tapa dura

John Reynolds spent 35 years racing motorcycles in high-speed pursuit of his dreams, winning five British Championship titles and making his mark in World Superbikes and 500GP racing along the way. He retired in October 2005 after suffering serious injuries in a horrific 140mph crash. Now fully recovered, he says that motorcycle racing didn't nearly kill him, but rather it saved his life. This is the inspirational story of his personal battle against adversity and how he kept his feet firmly grounded in reality during his rise to stardom as one of the most popular motorcycle racers of the modern era.

The book is ghost-written by Jason McClean, who has known John Reynolds for many years, latterly in his role handling PR and Marketing for Rizla Suzuki, Reynolds' British Superbike Team. McClean is a journalist who was Chief Reporter at Motor Cycle News and later edited the motorcycle trade magazine Inside Line.
