Description
The Haslam family has a long and storied history in motorbike racing. Ron Haslam, one of 10 siblings from Derbyshire, began his professional career at just 15 years old in 1972. A three-time World title winner and four-time British champion, he also holds the record for six Macau GPs victories. His son, Leon "Pocket Rocket," has followed in his father's footsteps, becoming a national Motorcross champion and national Scooter champion at just 14. He went on to compete in the 500cc World Championship and was voted MCN's Man of the Year and Riders' Rider of the Year. This book tells the extraordinary story of a father-son duo who are passionate about motorbikes and fearless racing, with all its thrills, spills, and close calls. With over 100 Grands Prix under his belt, Ron Haslam is one of the UK's most successful racers, while Leon continues to make a name for himself in the world of motorcycle racing.
