Publisher's Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Never Say Never, written and read by Nick Harris.
As 'The Voice' of motorcycle racing for 40 years, commentator Nick Harris became the biggest star not on two wheels in the paddock, and this is his mostly eyewitness, white-knuckle account of MotoGP's scorching 70-year history.
The story starts on the Isle of Man in 1949, when Geoff Duke, with his slicked-back hair and one-piece black leathers, became the nation's hero, defying the odds and winning the most dangerous race in the world on a British-built Norton. Just over a decade later at Mallory Park, another British champion and one of the greatest riders of all time, Mike Hailwood, screamed past a young Nick Harris on his 250cc Honda, and a lifelong passion was born.
Harris has been at the centre of the sport for decades, getting to know the riders as individuals, seeings feuds unfold, champions made, careers and sometimes lives ended. We'll see the biggest podium stars up close, from Barry Sheene and Kenny Roberts to Valentino Rossi, and we'll meet the mechanics behind them, the manufacturers who poured millions into the teams and the organisers who, in the early days, ruthlessly compromised rider safety for profits. The drama has often been as tense off the track as on it.
This is the book the motorcycling world has been waiting for.

Fantastic book Nick Harris, Thank You
I loved every second of this book. I loved learning about the History of sport, I loved learning about the media side of the story and growing a larger appreciation of it, but most of all Nick Harris, Thank You for telling your story with such passion and that you yourself narrated your own book which is so, so, so awesome. Once again, Thank You Nick Harris.

I was a Nick Harris fan before this book. He's knowledge and history of the sport is second to none. A must for any Motogp fan or just casual observer

Nick Harris will forever be, the voice of Moto GP
I really enjoyed this chronological audio book, narrated by the man himself, Nick Harris. I'm glad that he brought out a book, and I will always miss listening to his voice commentating the Moto GP

Good but...
Not sure whether I was expecting too much but I did find the predominantly chronological nature of this book a little bit boring at times. Still some great stories and memories, worth a listen.
