The Immortals of Australian Motorcycle Racing - Gelding Street Press
The latest book in the ‘Immortals of Australian Sport’ series celebrates twelve Aussies who have excelled in motorcycle competition.
Written by Darryl Flack, the book’s subtitle of The World Champs sets the bar for inclusion, so Wayne Gardner, Mick Doohan, Troy Bayliss and Casey Stoner make the cut, as do Tom Phillis, Kel Carruthers and Keith Campbell. However, the addition of Chad Reed, Jason Crump and Toby Price show this 208-page hardcover isn’t just focussed on road racing.
Flack tells the story behind each rider’s rise and the adversity they had to overcome to reach ‘Immortal’ status.
$39.95 RRP from specialist motoring and general automotive booksellers.

Eurogrip off-road tyres- Whites Powersports Australia
Eurogrip road and off-road tyres are now available in Australia. Their ‘Roadhound’ is a sport touring tyre that’s available in 120/70ZR17 (58W TL) front and 180/55ZR17 (73W TL) rear sizes.
Testing of the Roadhound tyres on a 6-day, non-stop ride that covered the length of New Zealand saw minimal wear – even after more than 4,500km and all types of road and weather conditions.
The structure and profile of the Roadhound enhances handling, comfort and riding stability. A dual compound on the rear tyre boosts grip and mileage, while the tread groove geometry improves water drainage and mechanical grip.
$185.00 RRP for fronts, $269.00 RRP for rears.
