Hear the story of motorcycle racing legend Mike Hailwood from the man himself in this extraordinary piece of Isle of Man TT history.
Recorded at Mike the Bike’s London flat in 1968, this chat with Peter Arnold chronicles a decade of racing at the TT, and 12 amazing race wins. The ever-popular Hailwood re-lives the highs and lows of ten years racing in the Isle of Man, fom fresh-faced teenager to his apparent retirement in 1967.
Hailwood: My First Ten TT Years recalls the exhilarating battles, frustrations and tremendous triumphs – it is a thrilling opportunity to discover how Hailwood managed to stamp his authority on the event, and offers revealing insight and first-hand accounts of some of the most memorable races ever. The soundtrack to the interview is provided by the Hondas, MV Agustas and other glorious machines that dominated the TT during Hailwood’s heyday, plus race commentary from such luminaries as Murray Walker.
This gem from the Stanley Schofield archives, which has been digitally remastered, is an essential record of a golden era in TT history and a true hero.
