Book excerpt: Fay Taylour was the most successful woman speedway rider -- ever. Her short but meteoric career spanned just a few years in the late 1920s until women were banned from the Speedway in 1930. In these few years Fay made a name for herself first in Trials riding, in which she won several Gold Medals, and then in Speedway, one of the toughest of all sports on a motorcycle. Fay competed against, and beat, most of the well known male speedway riders in the UK, Australia and New Zealand and became something of a legend -- the Queen of Speedway! This book is a biography of Fay and especially her motorcycle years in trials and speedway. It is a fascinating account of a truly remarkable woman and the early years of speedway in England, Australia and New Zealand.

Download or read book Action Replay written by Jeffrey Hamm and published by Black House Publishing. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Action Replay' is the remarkable life-story of Jeffrey Hamm as seen through his own eyes. From being a nominal member of the pre-War British Union of Fascists, events soon propelled him forward to become Oswald Mosley's leading exponent in the post-War world - and the subject of at least five fat MI5 files. Admired by many and hated by some, Hamm was the first to call for Oswald Mosley to return to active politics after the War. This started him on a one-way political journey that made him the target of regular physical attack - but earned him the respect of both fellow travellers and sworn enemies alike. Hamm may well have remained a non-active member of the Mosley Movement and spent his life as an unknown secondary school teacher. But in 1940 a fellow Blackshirt falsely denounced him and the Head of MI5 himself began the man-hunt that detained Jeffrey Hamm in the far-off Falkland Isles. No reason was given for his imprisonment without charge or trial and he was transferred to an internment camp in South Africa - with only 200 German Nazis for company! After an unsuccessful attempt to escape by tunnel, Jeffrey Hamm was freed and on his return immediately joined the Royal Tank Corps where his conduct was recorded as exemplary. But MI5 hadn't finished with him yet and ordered his immediate dismissal. Hamm was outraged by his treatment and vowed vengeance against the Government he had come to hate. His pre-War allegiance to Mosley was rekindled - and his course as a swashbuckling political firebrand and constant thorn in the side of successive British governments was set. An excellent read that tells the story of Mosley's 'Union Movement' from the inside.

Book excerpt: This fast-paced, often-humorous travel book tells the truly ridiculous story of how two British friends, Matt Bishop and Reece Gilkes, became the first people to circumnavigate the globe on a scooter with a sidecar. Their world-record-breaking 34,000-mile-long journey took them through thirty-five countries and across five continents. With no experience of mechanics, overlanding, or even riding motorbikes, the pair took their Honda scooter and barn-built sidecar through some of the world's toughest environments, including a scorching Sahara Desert and the frozen wilds of a Siberian winter.This heartwarming story will restore your faith in humanity as strangers all over the world save the pair from the life-threatening and downright idiotic situations in which they find themselves. At the same time, the book lifts the curtain on the issue of modern slavery, which still plagues every country on earth. Matt and Reece meet survivors of modern slavery and organisations fighting it all over the world, and the hard-hitting stories they share will leave you questioning your role in the issue-and asking how you can help. "Reading this refreshing book is easy-time just slips by-but that's the only easy thing about the whole affair. So my advice is: Think of something you'd love to do that's really quite ridiculously impossible. Then read the book. Then go and do it. I must say, it really takes me back . . ." - Ted Simon, author of Jupiter's Travels "The many threads of this gripping adventure unfold as a powerful, at times opinionated, heart-tweaking, fast-flowing journey of surprises. Woven into the stories are top tips, quirky facts about the lands traversed, and a wonderfully self-depreciating sense of humour. This story is proof that a positive attitude, determination, respect towards others, and wide-open minds can change the world. Adventurists are going to love the challenges and, at times, readers are going to have to put this book down so they can really think about the images attached to the words they have just read." - Sam Manicom, author of Into Africa."A powerfully-written tale about travelling with purpose. But what a daft machine to use!" - Paddy Tyson, Overland MagazineYou can also get a signed copy of this book with colour pictures at www.armchairadventurefestival.com/shop.
