Never Say Never: The Inside Story of the Motorcycle World Championships

First, I would buy this book again to do over.Why only 4 stars? The first several chapters really just factually recounted the more notable events/riders/wins as MotoGP was developing. There was not the level of insight (inside stories) for which I was hoping. On the other hand, the last many chapters were a thrill to read and that may be because I didn't start following MotoGP until 2010. Mr. Harris' book elicited many good memories. Furthermore, and this is huge, with a new level of understanding I will watch all of the future GP races as I never have before -- the riders, the bikes, the support teams, the media, DORNA, and certainly the various venues. Even though the current crew does a fine job commentating, I do miss Mr. Harris' style and voice!

Excellent book

I like Nick Harris & have watched MotoGP & 500cc for many decades & was hoping for more background information on the various "incidents" that have happened over the years that can't be told on live TV. It does cover the whole racing history from the very beginning.

This is true insiders view of the world of motorcycle racing told by a lifelong racing enthusiast. What Nick Harris didn't experienced firsthand on track (he never raced) he observed from a vintage point and discussed with the main protagonists for years of presence of the most prestigious motorcycle championships. After the half mark of reading the book, I realize there is only one major flaw - it's way too short. The pictures are not that many, but are carefully selected to match the story. And the story is the really important part. I do enjoy the reading.

I just have to say, thanks Nick for writing this incredible book. It has brought back many memories of people and places from the past. Your true professionalism and dedication to your work is nothing short of exceptional. Enjoy your well deserved retirement with Sheila and your family. Cheers, Roland. PS: The pictures at the end are amazing !
