Product Description Experience the ragged edge of road racing - the most extreme of extreme sports. Man and machine hurtling at 170mph between hedges and stone walls, balancing speed and risk at every corner. But behind the adrenaline-charged race scene there's another story: the long hours of the monotonous day job that pays for the racing; the longer nights in small, draughty sheds building the bikes; the banter of the paddock; the struggle to overcome the pain of crash injuries; the abject misery of defeat and the sheer joy of the podium. In "Ragged Edge", Stephen Davison, author of bestsellers "Joey Dunlop: King of the Roads" and "Beautiful Danger", tells that story. In over 120 stunning full-colour photographs, he gives a thrilling and personal insight into the road racing scene and the lives of the riders. He draws the reader into the world of current and former road racing stars like Joey and Robert Dunlop, David Jefferies and John McGuinness, Martin Finnegan and Ryan Farquhar, as well as lesser-known racers like Kenny McCrea and Dean Cooper. Through Davison's photographs we share in their moments of bravery, disappointment, pain and triumph, and enjoy a roadside view of the incredible racing action they create in Ireland, the Isle of Man and Macau. These photographs and the stories behind them are a compelling testament to read more
