MIKE HAILWOOD is a legend in motorcycle racing and now you can hear the story of his success from the man himself.
In 1968 Mike the Bike' sat down with Peter Arnold to chat about a decade of racing at the Isle of Man TT, and Duke has just announced that the fascinating result is now available on CD.
In this extraordinary recording, Hailwood re-lives the highs and lows, from his first appearance as a fresh-faced teenager to his apparent retirement from two-wheel racing at the end of 1967.
Hailwood recalls the exhilarating battles, frustrations and tremendous triumphs of what proved to be the first instalment of his TT career.
My First Ten TT Years gives Hailwood's first-hand accounts of each of the 12 wins he scored in that first decade, including the extraordinary trebles he scored in 1961 and 1967, and the unprecedented back-to-back Senior TT wins he recorded from 1963 to 1967. He openly discusses his true feelings about the iconic TT circuit, his dices with legends of the sports - including Giacomo Agostini and Bob McIntyre - plus race commentary from such luminaries as Murray Walker.
Hailwood: My First Ten TT Years is now available at £10.99 from leading video outlets or direct from www. dukevideo.com or order by phone on 01624 640000.
