Motorcycle Racing (Motorsports) from Capstone Press Price: $21.26 Customer Review: This book Motorcycle Racing is a good book. I like it because it tells you the safety stuff you need so you don't get hurt. It tells you why they peel out before they race. They do that to get their tires hot so they get better traction. It also tells you everything on a motorcycle. |
