3.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting bio,
By
This review is from: Deeley, Motorcycle Millionaire (Paperback)
You don't necessarily have to be a gear head, or even remotely interested in motorcycles, to enjoy this Horatio Alger-like biography about a winner - on the race track, in the business world and in life. Working for Trev Deeley for the past 15 years, I had only known him for his stunning home & love of "toys", his quick temper and his thoughtful generosity. Naturally I was curious to learn more about this supposedly "larger than life" celebrity in the motorcycle world. The book provided the answers to my questions. It is well researched, if a little skimpy on the details, and a quick, easy read. A lot of references to local (Vancouver/ Victoria) geography make it particularly interesting to those who are familiar. It is accompanied by some fascinating photos that provide a good reference to the narrative. A good inside look into the motorcycle industry, and the life of a very fascinating man...it actually inspired me to pursue an unfulfilled lifelong desire: to purchase a motorcycle and learn to ride!
4.0 out of 5 stars
Motorcycle fans will enjoy this,

This review is from: Deeley, Motorcycle Millionaire (Hardcover)
I bought this book because Trev Deeley was married to my mother's cousin and I was hoping it would provide me with some family history information (it did). But it also proved to be a very interesting story of a family and a business. Those not into motorcycles may not enjoy it but I did for the family info it gave me.
