Overview
Kevin Cameron is one of the most widely read motorcycle journalists in the world--for reasons that this collection makes immediately and undeniably clear. Here are the feature articles and columns that have made Cameron a must-read for motorcycle aficionados: stories of the racing life; interviews with top-notch racers; profiles of builders and engineers (like John Britten); accounts of changes in the racing world; analyses of riding techniques and winning technology; reports of races; and popular pieces about engine and suspension theory. With short introductions to each piece, Cameron puts his on-the-spot writing on motorcycle racing into context, and offers a quick, clear history of the best on bikes.

Reviews
RoadRacing World, January 2008 Anyone who has ever road raced, is racing, intends to race, goes to or watches the races, in any serious area of the sport at any level, must absorb TDC. You will learn more in this book than in decades at the track.
CycleWorld.com June 23, 2007 (from message board) Hot and tired from my motorcycle-habit-supporting-day job, I figured that I'd check it out for a few minutes, and then grab a much needed shower. I was still at the kitchen table reading, when my wife arrived an hour later. For anyone who has ever twisted a wrench, fired up a torch, or wondered what really happens behind the scenes at the bike races, this is for you. TDC is a collection of Kevin's writings and columns dating back to `71, each with an introduction (all insightful and tinged with a true motorcyclist's humor), and filled with history. --- RoadRacing World, January 2008 Anyone who has ever road raced, is racing, intends to race, goes to or watches the races, in any serious area of the sport at any level, must absorb TDC.
