Klappentext Parrish Times tracks Steve's amazing journey over the last four decades in surely the most dangerous and exhilarating sporting arena there is. In the 1970s Steve was competing for the world motorcycle championship with legendary team-mate Barry Sheene on a Suzuki. Retiring from motorcycle racing in 1986, Steve managed a successful Yamaha factory team to three British Superbike Championship titles, and then became the most successful truck racer ever. Against this background of sporting triumph are the notorious pranks: posing as a medical doctor to allow John Hopkins to fly from Japan to the Australian GP; impersonating Barry Sheene in a qualifying session; parking an ambulance on double yellow lines with the doors open in visits to his local bank.... This is a funny, hell-raising account of life - and death in the fast lane which will keep readers enthralled to the end. Barry Sheene's final words to his best friend sum it up: 'Neither of us will die wondering.' Zusammenfassung The rip-roaring autobiography of Steve Parrish, champion motorcyclist, truck racer and motorsport commentator.
