Top Dead Center 2 - Racing and Wrenching with Cycle World's Kevin Cameron

2nd hand book in very good condition

By: Kevin Cameron .

Almost three decades ago, a racing engineer named Kevin Cameron began writing a monthly column for the legendary Cycle magazine. When Cycle was incorporated into Cycle World in 1991, readers rejoiced that Cameron came along for the ride. Whether he's writing about a racer's psyche or a motorcycle's functionality, Cameron reduces the subject matter to its elemental form and then reconstructs it in such a way that his readers understand all the previously hidden howl and whys. Engineers respect him because he is one of them. Racers speak with him candidly because he knows their craft. And, as Top Dead Center 2 shows, readers are the ultimate winners because engineers and racers give Cameron the straight story.

Cycle World's Kevin Cameron is the most insightful motorcycle racing journalist on the planet. He not only understands why racers race and how motorcycles perform. He explains both in ways that lead the rest of us to "aha" moments. This second volume of Cameron's articles and columns highlights his perception that the pursuit of higher performance improves our general understanding of the way things work. Referencing motorcycle geniuses, like Soichiro Honda and Erik Buell, and legendary machines, like the Bimota Tesi and the Britten V-1100, Cameron shows how racing serves man's never-ending quest for excellence.
