Inhaltsangabe

An incredible roller coaster journey through the life of an incredibly resourceful, brilliant, resilient, and determined man.

In its simplest design, the suspension was not invented (on motorcycles or cars) for the sheer purpose of comfort, but more for safety and going fast. A mutual problem between all the big-named competitors—that is always improved, but never fully solved—is keeping the rubber on the road. A well-functioning suspension should absorb the shock of paved imperfections while increasing cornering, braking, and acceleration thresholds, but how did it modern suspension evolve into what we're riding today?

This book is the true story of a 1970s American teenager who invented the game-changing rear suspension system that shook up the motorcycle industry and all the years of litigation that followed in his success.

The author is a self-educated mechanical prodigy who grew up tinkering in the 60s muscle car era. His main focus in high school was making sure he had the fastest car around; to fuel those ambitions, he worked as a Ferrari mechanic and then as a chief race car mechanic by his late teen years. While not the best at motocross, he sought out the best ways to improve his odds. It leads to him creating the first linkage suspension for the rear wheel of a motorcycle at the age of nineteen.
