Jim Redman M.B.E. The Autobiography

Six times World Motorcycling Champion. The incredible rags to riches story of one of the world's greatest motorcycle racers. The extraordinary life story of the penniless orphan and colonial adventurer who, aboard the most glamorous racing motorcycles, roared to six hard-fought World Championships and won for himself the reputation of hard man of the race track and shrewd, steely professional of the paddock.
Compared to Redman, modern G.P. riders are a bunch of adolescent softies.” — Andy Kershaw
