The Magic of the TT by Mac Mcdiarmid

As the "Isle of Man" celebrates 100 years of the greatest road race in the world, the TT has come full circle - as the ultimate test of both motorcycle technology and the men who pit their sophisticated machines against the cruellest circuit on earth. During that century, horsepower has soared from a handful, when two-wheelers began racing over The Mountain, to over 200 today. In this fully updated paperback edition, Mac McDiarmid tells the whole story - history, circuits, machines, riders, races and risks, as well as the whole TT experience for armies of road race fans.
Author of Haynes' official biography of Joey Dunlop, photojournalist Mac McDiarmid has attended every TT since 1976. A former TT racer, he edits the annual TT magazine Island Racer, writes TT reports for Motocourse and Motor Cycle News, and now lives on The Island.
