JEFF SMITH: TRIALS MASTER, MOTORCROSS MAESTRO

Ian Berry's much anticipated official biography of motorcycling legend Jeff Smith, which includes more than 390 pictures illustrating the life and times of this off-road legend, was released at the Telford Show in February where the man himself was happy to sign books. At approximately 470 pages this massive bio features Jeff's story from his early years in Lancashire, through his learning phase riding his father’s motorcycle on WWII rationed petrol, to his meteoric rise within the British and European trials and motocross professional ranks. After leaving BSA in the early 1970s he continued his association with motorcycles via Can-Am and AHRMA and remains to this day an avid motorcyclist, engineer and mechanic. Price: £60 + P&P. The book is available on: www.amazon.co.uk
