Mike
Hailwood : A Motorcycle Racing Legend by Mick Woollett
Mike Hailwood has been described as the greatest rider in the history
of motorcycle racing. At the age of 18, he was already a British champion
in four classes. At age 21, he won his first World Championship. He would
go on to claim eight more world titles in the 250cc, 350cc and 500cc classes.
This definitive history of the millionaire's son who earned a reputation
as one of the sport's nice guys, covers Hailwood's British championships
and early Continental races in 1959 and 1960, before going on to
examine his rides with MV Agusta and Honda in 1960 and 1961; his small-class
endeavors with EMC, MZ and Benelli; and his return to Honda and four more
world titles from 1966 through 1968. Although Hailwood enjoyed modest success
in Formula 1 auto racing, this book focuses solely on his motorcycle career,
to which he made a spectacular return in 1978, winning the Isle of
Man TT aboard a Ducati and smashing the lap record the following year en
route to winning the Senior TT title. Amazon.com Hardcover - 208 pages (February 2000)
