John Reynolds Summary

John Reynolds: The Autobiography by John Reynolds

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.

McClean is a journalist who was Chief Reporter at Motor Cycle News and later edited the motorcycle trade magazine Inside Line.

Riding for Red Bull Ducati - in BSB from 1997 to 2001, winning the title in his final year with the team, and beating the World Superbike regulars as a wild card at his favourite track, Brands Hatch, in 2000. Rizla Suzuki - five years with the front-running BSB challengers, winning the title again in 2004, before retiring at the end of 2005 after coming close to losing his life in an accident during practice at Brands Hatch.
