Deeley: Motorcycle Millionaire

Rating:
Summary: Interesting bio
Review: You don't necessarily have to be a gear head, or even remotely interested in motorcycles, to enjoy this Horatio Alger-like biography about a winner - on the race track, in the business world and in life. Working for Trev Deeley for the past 15 years, I had only known him for his stunning home & love of "toys", his quick temper and his thoughtful generosity. Naturally I was curious to learn more about this supposedly "larger than life" celebrity in the motorcycle world. The book provided the answers to my questions. It is well researched, if a little skimpy on the details, and a quick, easy read. A lot of references to local (Vancouver/ Victoria) geography make it particularly interesting to those who are familiar. It is accompanied by some fascinating photos that provide a good reference to the narrative. A good inside look into the motorcycle industry, and the life of a very fascinating man...it actually inspired me to pursue an unfulfilled lifelong desire: to purchase a motorcycle and learn to ride!
