Pulitzer-prize finalist photographers Jon Kral and Candace Barbot were given unprecedented access to major league American motorcycle road racing events and their participants. This book tells the behind-the-scenes story of the thrills and spills, the triumph and tragedy of the participants, from the professional "hired guns" of the big factory teams to the gutsy individual privateer racers.
"These photographs are incredible. I've honestly never seen anyone portray this sport in this manner. Jon Kral and Candace Barbot have, on the one hand, created a work of art. On the other hand, they've given us a gritty, yet endearingly honest look at the men and women that make motorcycle road racing, from the pits and garages to the tracks, such an exciting visual spectacle."
-- The Motorcycle Industry Council 's President Tim buche.
"As our technology continues to evolve, The Team moves with it. When we are successful, we choose to acknowledge The Team as opposed to The Bike. I believe this book will capture the personalities and this Team effort that's so important, perhaps more than any prior effort."
-- Bob Starr, Yamaha Motorsports Group.
