Download or read book Pete Hill A Legend on Two Wheels World s Fastest Knucklehead written by Jackie Hill and published by Wolfgang Publications. This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of drag race fans remember Pete Hill--the humble and very successful racer from Greenville, South Carolina. Without a big sponsor and riding a blown, fuel-burning Knucklehead, Pete Hill not only beat the other Harleys but he also beat the Kawasakis. And all with an obsolete V-Twin design that went out of production in 1948. Written by his one-person pit crew, his wife Jackie Hill, this book follows Pete's career from his first Knucklehead-powered four-wheel dragster to his ascension to motorcycle Top Fuel. Jackie tells the story like it was. The joy of winning and the hard lumps that came before the wins. The long nights on the road, the struggle to find pushrods that don't bend (make your own), and risk of learning how to mix Nitromethane. Pete Hill was and is the real deal who had no big sponsors. Pete built his own bikes and won with an outdated engine design: the Knucklehead. Jackie walks the reader through each setback and each win. She puts you right in the middle of the action. Reading Jackie's book is like going back in time with a pit pass for hundreds of drag races.
Download or read book Peppermint Patti written by Patti Sexton and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ballad of a female motorcycle drag racer by "Peppermint Patti" is the crazy story of her life. She begins: I had as normal of childhood as everyone else. I was spoiled and spanked, praised and brow beaten. I was restless and high spirited. Chicago was a hard place to grow up in the 1960's. My dad and grandfather were all city workers. My grandfather, Patrick, was a fireman and a hero in the great Chicago Fire. I am his namesake. My granddad was William P. Sextan. He was the head of the South-side water District and ran the Crib in Lake Michigan. My dad, William A. Sexton, was a Chief Building Inspector in Chicago. He had the downtown district when he died on the job. I had a really good father. I was lucky but, it did not save me from beatings I probably deserved. I can remember having an imaginary twin sister named "Penny". Patti and Penny. Penny was the perfect child. She did everything right. She was mom and dad's favorite. On the other hand, I couldn't do anything right. I was always scolded and always in trouble. I remember hiding under the grand piano with a big stuffed animal crying my eyes out. I was 5 or 6 years old. Normal... In my teenage years I had many friends. I never hung around with one group. I had groups of friends in a dozen neighborhoods all over the city. I hung out on a lot of corners that my dad told me not to. I also attended four different High Schools, which contributed to having so many friends. I also had many enemies. I was a very tough little girl also. If they got too out of hand, I would just beat them up...this was Chicago before guns took over. It was either 'beat' or be 'beaten'. I was beat up so bad in eighth grade and I vowed it would never happen again. So, I started working out with weights in the basement with my older brother, Billy. Billy and I were very, very close. We did many things together. He was the best brother anyone could have.. I had to go to summer school at Morgan Park High School in my Junior year for English. My teacher, a Nun at Mount Assisi, said that my short story assignment could not have been written by me. It was written by me! And I had four re-writes to show her. Sister Mary Dorothy still flunked me. That's when I knew I must be a good writer. Going to summer school in a mixed neighborhood in 1965-6 was very dangerous. Besides racial tensions, whites were divided into two groups. The Socialites and the Greasers. Undoubtedly, I was a "Greaser". We hung out at the Chatter Box Restaurant, near the school. We had many fun-filled days there. This is where I met my first love, Dennis Smagac. ....and now you will need to buy the book.

Download or read book Riding in the Zone written by Ken Condon and published by Motorbooks. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Riding motorcycles is fun, but author Ken Condon maintains that there is a state of consciousness to be achieved beyond the simple pleasure of riding down the road. Riding in the Zone helps riders find that state of being. It's the experience of being physically and mentally present in the moment, where every sense is sharply attuned to the ride. Your mind becomes silent to the chatter of daily life, and everyday problems seem to dissolve. You feel a deeper appreciation for life. Your body responds to this state of being with precise, fluid movements, you feel in balance, your muscles are relaxed, and it seems as though every input you make is an expression of mastery. This is "the Zone." Condon identifies all of the factors that affect entering the Zone and addresses each one individually, from the development of awareness and mental skills to mastering physical control of the motorcycle. At the end of each chapter are drills designed to transform the book's ideas into solid, practical riding skills. Riding in the Zone takes riders to the next level in their skill set.
