Following the retirement of the legendary Carl Fogarty, Chris Walker has become Britain's most popular motorcycle racer. Incredibly brave, outspoken and with talent to burn, Chris is frank about his hell-raising exploits on and off track, his legion of fans and his action-packed career in World and British superbikes. Chris Walker's first book recreates his zest for life, passion for bikes, but most-of-all, his unique sense of humour. It includes not only the inside story of his racing, but revelations of his and fellow riders' more 'racy' exploits. Chris will also expose some of the inner demons that are rarely shown to the public. Major storylines include: A childhood surrounded by bikes, and his first girlfriend: 'She was 13 going on 21 and had the biggest boobs I have ever seen.'A catalogue of broken bones: just weeks after spending four months in plaster following a serious road bike accident, he almost severed his other leg when motocrossing.The inevitable attention of the opposite sex: 'Girls would not have been knocking on my motorhome door offering a blow-job if I hadn't been racing bikes…'The classic season-long ding-dong battle with arch-rival Neil Hodgson, which went to the courts over disputed points.The loyal support, and exploits, of his five-strong 18-stone posse of mates known as the 'Big Lads' and the less-welcome attentions of a fully-fledged stalker.A switch to Carl Fogarty's race team: 'The bike caught fire during practice at Silverstone and I jumped off to avoid serious injury – but not before all my pubic hair had burnt off!'His battles with the debilitating Bell’s Palsy.His long-awaited first World Superbike win from the back of the grid at Assen in 2006. Updated and told in Chris's inimitably self-deprecating style – and with all the drama of the opening races of the 2008 World Supersport series – the book breaks the mould of recent motorcycling autobiographies.

This is a lively account of a young man living in Bristol during the so-called Swinging Sixties, progressing from a shy and awkward 16 year old to a gradual sexual awakening and an awareness of what girls are all about. The author reflects on his journey from innocence, and describes a variety of young ladies he met in this fine city, from his first love and then beyond. His girlfriends, which ranged from the virtuous to the not so virtuous, came from all corners of Bristol. This, coupled with his job taking him around the city, led to him discovering a variety of clubs, pubs and cinemas in the city, many now long gone. He describes his experiences with an open honesty and, more than once, suggests he might be giving away 'too much information'. He was one of many teenagers and young men living the dream during this memorable era and believes his memories will sound familiar to others who had the good fortune to be there.
