About this product

Product Information

THAT NEAR DEATH THING is a life-affirming journey to the heart of the world's most dangerous race. The Isle of Man TT is a throwback to a maverick era that existed before PR platitudes and PC attitudes. William Hill Sports Book of the Year-shortlisted author Rick Broadbent gets inside the helmets of four leading motorcycle racers as they battle fear, fire and family tragedy for a gritty sort of glory. Guy Martin is a tea-drinking truck mechanic and TV eccentric who 'sucks the rabbits out of hedges', but must now deal with the flipside of fame; Conor Cummins is the local hero facing a race against time as he battles depression and a broken body after falling down the mountain; John McGuinness is the living legend fending off the ravages of middle-age for one last hurrah; Michael Dunlop is the wild child living with one of the most remarkable legacies in sport. They tell their astonishing stories in a book that provides the most rounded, intimate, behind-the-scences account yet of the last great race. Rick Broadbent has delivered the final word on the Isle of Man TT, one that really gets to grips with an event that continually pulls unsung riders and fans back year after year to witness That Near Death Thing.

  • In a class of its own for any enthusiast

    after 40 years of attending the TT and Manx GP races I bought this book and kept to take with me this year. In a class of its own for any enthusiast - I could not put it down and read in a day!! Personal insights from the riders and detailed connection with the course itself and its thrills and dangers. I have read numerous biographies and articles about the irresistible lure of the races. None have ever swept me along as this one did. Not glamorising or trying to hide the obvious dangers, but providing an inkling of the dedication and commitment of the riders, their helpers and crucially their families. A wonderful read for any true fan.

  • Great book
