A Must Have!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fast Company : Motorcycle Road Racing's Pit Warriors (Hardcover)
This amazing b&w photo book takes you into the pits and brings you so close to the action, you can taste the pre-mix and feel the vibration of the motors rumble thru your bones. Every single page cries for a frame and a wall. It brings you to the top of triumph and to the low of horrific crashes. A perfect gift or keep for yourself and collect your favorite racer autographs!

Every Race Fan Must Have!,
By "annieokley" (Norco, Ca USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fast Company : Motorcycle Road Racing's Pit Warriors (Hardcover)
For all race fans, a must. This coffee table picture book re-creates the tension, excitement and thrills,and victory of the "behind the sceans" at the race track. The pictures are beautiful. The black and white photos bring out the true feeling of the race life. Thank you for this exceptional book.

Mediocre Picture Book,
By Desmo04 (Arlington, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fast Company : Motorcycle Road Racing's Pit Warriors (Hardcover)
I expected a book with insightful narrative and intriguing photographs about what goes on behind the motorcycle racing scene. Instead this work offers virtually no narrative and really mediocre photographs. It's a big, expensive photo album that illustrates the motorcycle racing pit scene without explaining what you're seeing. The captions for all the photos are at the end of the book, which is cumbersome, and the editor left out narrative for some photos and mislabeled others. If you're looking for the scoop on the grunge behind the glitz of motorcycle racing, this will not satisfy you at all. If you're looking for outstanding photography, you'll be disappointed as well. Save your money; there are better books in this genre out there.
