The Ride of My Life : Frank Melling on Motorcycles & Motorcycling - Volume 1

Frank Melling has witnessed seminal points in motorcycling history, ridden some of the most iconic machines and met some of the greatest riders who ever lived.

This book spans the chasm of time from the 1907 TT-winning Norton to Triumph's 2016 Bonneville Thruxton R, and Melling's love of motorcycles and motorcyclists shines through in this unique and highly amusing take on motorcycling history.Taking you on a road trip you will never forget, this book is a collection of stories that intrigue, amuse and entertain: How about the Honda DN-01?

Truly named the DO NOT OWN 1 - and maybe the worst bike in the world? Or the sublime Ecurie Sportive Manx Norton - GBP75,000 worth of hand built Grand Prix race bike?

A creation so beautiful it should be in an art gallery - except that it's still being raced.

What was it like to ride in the most dangerous motorcycle race in the world, with seven riders killed in three hours?

Frank was there, as always, in the thick of the action.
