 Best of the past February 22, 2008
If you were an avid motorcyclist in the 1960s to 1980's and followed the races you will enjoy the time capsule perspective of Kevin Cameron. It will bring back happy memories.
If you're from the recent era it provides a great perspective on how different things were yet how the same in the attitudes and tribulations of racers.
Hopefully it will make you want to look at more of Kevin's modern thoughts.
He has perhaps one of the most insightful minds in the motorcycle world.
 You either like this guy or you don't January 29, 2008
Kevin Cameron writes in a uniquely odd manner but if you're a gear head or just interested in learning WHY some stuff gets done, eventually, you'll like the book. I had been reading his stuff in magazines for a long time and wondered when an all encompassing compendium of his work might surface. This would be it.
Can you read the whole thing at once? I doubt it. It's not that kind of book. You need to read it, attempt to understand what he just said, and then move on. Can't do that in one sitting for sure.
Overall, I enjoyed the read as much as the "ride" it takes you on.

A great read January 28, 2008
There is so much to learn from this great collection of Cameron's writings. I really enjoyed reading this book.

Kevin's knowledge, insights and memories make for a great read and you will learn something about great bikes and the men that rode and made them. I learned more about my heroes and racers that have become great friends to me. I guess all I could ask for is TDC- 2, the sequel.
Kevin shold do another book December 9, 2007
I subscribe to Cycle World solely to read Kevin Cameron's TDC column, so when I saw that he written a book with the same title, I rushed out and bought two copies, one for myself, and one to give as a gift for my motorcycle club's holiday party. I started reading as soon as the book arrived. I was a little disappointed, because the articles in the book are different from Kevin's Cycle World articles of the last few years. The articles in the book are focused on motorcycle racing, where his recent articles have focused on technology. When an issue of Cycle World arrives, I turn straight to Kevin's column, and I am never disappointed. The guy is the best technical writer I have ever encountered. This is what I was expecting, but instead I got a collection of articles about racing. The writing in the racing articles is of course up to Kevin's usual very high standard. I have been a luke warm fan of racing, and now after reading Kevin's book, my interest is much greater.
But, please, I want a collection of Kevin's articles on technology. There are a lot of writers who cover racing well. There is no one else who covers technology the way Kevin Cameron does.
