 Beautiful book about the 3-way motorcycle speedfest of 2006 October 2, 2007
Thomas S. Smith (Rancho Palos Verdes, CA)
Outstanding photography and story of the 3-way motorcycle streamliner battle at Bonneville in 2006. 2006 featured the best salt racing surface in many years and for the first time, three legitimate contenders for the world speed record. The book has excellent construction data on the three bikes as well as a top flight narrative. It's coffee table quality for the photography alone, and I'd put it there if I had a coffee table. The book also includes a value-added DVD featuring a video story of the contest. I have seen some of the author's research material, and he could fill several more books. Mr Stein is a extremely dedicated and knowlegible historian and this book shows it. I have had the privilege of meeting Sam Wheeler and Denis Manning as well as having a close-up look at internals of the E-Z-Hook 'liner after the meet. I can't say too much about everyone's long term efforts.
