Notwithstanding that guy's opinion, I hope to have another print edition available soon. I'm planning to make a downloadable audio-book too. That way, you'll have a version to read in the tub and/or a way to kill an entire transatlantic flight then next time you're headed to the Isle of Man. If you'd like to be informed when those versions are available, please scroll to the bottom of this page and fill out the handy form.
If you can't wait - and frankly, I don't think you should - the Kindle version is available from Amazon right here: Buy Riding Man on Kindle now
Don't have a Kindle? I'm surprised you're not being dive-bombed by angry spotted owls. Make sure Bambi has a safe place to sleep under the trees tonight, buy a Kindle Wireless Reading Device, Wi-Fi, Graphite, 6" Display with New E Ink Pearl Technology
For 100 years, the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy races have been the world's most dangerous organized sporting event. As one of the thirty thousand fans who attended the annual spectacle, I harbored no illusions about my own skill or bravery. I was, however, an avid motorcyclist and the race represented a boyhood dream. I went home, quit my job, sold everything I owned and returned to the Island to race there myself.
Riding Man is the account of an Everyman, struggling to qualify for -- and survive -- the TT races. If you're a dreamer, the lesson this book is that he pursuit of any worthwhile goal involves risks, rewards and, almost inevitably, some regrets. If you're not a dreamer, the lesson is more important: the deepest regrets are always over risks not taken.
