Eso no estaba en mi libro de historia del motociclismo
Torre, Juan Pedro de la
What link exists between the fight against fascism, the American space race and the so-called Cold War? None? Well, although it may seem incredible, these three milestones of the 20th century are connected through the history of the motorcycle. And what relationship do characters as diverse as John Surtees, the only man who has been world champion of Formula 1 and motorcycling, have with the actor Steve McQueen and the guerrilla Ernesto Che Guevara? Simply, that a motorcycle changed their lives. That wasn't in my motorcycle history book is a journey through the fascinating world of motorcycles, in which we discover unusual moments, absolutely fascinating characters, and stories of overcoming. It is a true adventure from beginning to end that reveals the creation of a new industry and all its complexity, its contribution to the development of the automotive industry at key moments in 20th century society, its eternal challenge against the economic potential of the automotive industries , and the attraction of the intoxicating world of racing, full of figures as brilliant as others that are truly grotesque.
