John Reynolds

The Autobiography


John Reynolds with Jason McClean

A new book from Haynes
Publication date: October 2006
RRP: £18.99, Hardback, ISBN: 1 84425 355 4


John Reynolds spent 35 years racing motorcycles, winning six British Championship titles and making his mark in World Superbikes and 500cc Grand Prix racing along the way. He retired in October 2005 after suffering serious injuries in a horrific 140mph crash. Now fully recovered, he says that he wouldn't change a thing in his life, not even the injuries.

This is the inspirational story of his personal battle against adversity, and how he kept his feet firmly on the ground to become one of the most popular motorcycle racers of the modern era. He talks candidly about every aspect of growing up to become a motorcycle superstar. From boyhood stunts on his pushbike to teenage motocross, road-racing, through to his rollercoaster track career.

From the high-points of life as a racer and as a loving husband and father, to the desperate lows of his final season and the life-threatening crash that ended his career, John Reynolds gives the reader a fascinating insight into competing in one of the hardest and most unforgiving sports in the world.
