Part thriller, part philosophical self-exploration, it is a remarkably insightful account of what it is like to have it all, but wonder why. He also served as an expert analyst for the SpeedChannel TV network for 12 years to cover motorcycle races until 2008.

About this product

Product Information

One of the greatest motorcycle racers the world has ever seen tells his story for the first time. Feel is the story of how a small-time boy from humble beginnings in Louisiana rose to the pantheon of greats, to win the 500cc and 250cc GP Championship in the same year - an historic achievement over three decades ago which has never been repeated. Growing up at the time of the assassination of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Freddie judged by feel, not by colour. Blind to prejudice and discrimination, he formed dynamic connections with people and events, but only years later during his racing afterlife could Freddie come to understand the true power of the things he learned. Spencer is an articulate and compassionate guide as he describes the thrill and horror of racing in an era when death was a perennial threat. He recalls in pin-sharp detail the frenetic high-octane racing duels with the 'King' Kenny Roberts, but also describes a parallel internal journey as he struggled to make sense of it all. Driven by a search for the personal fulfilment that comes through finding your purpose, Freddie's story is a universal one. In its message of hope, Feel transcends its genre to offer a story for everyone. Part thriller, part philosophical self-exploration, it is a remarkably insightful account of what it is like to have it all, but wonder why. For the first time I will talk about the traumas of my childhood, the contrast between the leaf fire burns, the mistrust and discomfort and the peace and purpose I felt when riding my bike. I didn't tell my parents about something that happened to me. Why? I felt ashamed, but when I rode I felt connected to everything and the pain in my hand and heart would go away. It gave me the feeling of hope .

Great read amazing man
I first saw Freddie spencer race in 1985 and I was spellbound by such an amazing talent. The book is compelling in that he doesn't just focus on his racing success but also gives an honest account of his family life and struggles . Well done I enjoyed it.

I felt it!
A great read from a great rider - filled in a lot of the unknown about Freddie's youth, his drive to becoming multiple world champion and his life after racing.
