 TDC by Kevin Cameron November 5, 2009
Feroz Omar (Colombo, Sri Lanka)
I found TDC to be very interesting. I enjoyed reading it. The subject being racing and development of motorcycles I found advice and lessons applicable to everyday life and business.
Love it June 4, 2009
Anthony Powers (ny)
Good on so many levels. Writing, tech, philosophy, history and more. I sell or toss most of the books I read. This one is a keeper. I hope my son will read it someday.
Great book. April 15, 2009
Teresa L. Spencer (Gainesville, ga United States)
I purchased this as a gift for my brother, a huge motorcycle fan and he absolutely loved it.
A conversation with Kevin April 2, 2009
J. Braun (New England, USA)
Most people mistakenly think that to make a motorcycle fast they only need to install a hot cam and slip on a noisy exhaust. Kevin knows better because he has explored all the slippery details on race tracks around the world. A larger carburetor will slow down the velocity of the air/fuel mixture and disrupt the proper mixing causing less, not more, power. It's Bernoulli's principle and Kevin doesn't just know it, he understands it.
What's great about this book is that he explains this sort of thing as if he were having a conversation with you. He tells you about these things in the context of the people and machines he worked and raced with. And at the end of each story you understand it to.
Kevin's Handbook of Sportbike Performance is much more technical and makes an excellent companion book. Handbook tells you what to do and which bolt to turn. TDC tells you why you want to do it and gets you excited about doing it. Every rider who is interested in performance; the people, the machines, and the techniques, should own this book!
This is a great book. March 19, 2009

Technically savvy, poetical-prose writer Cameron will share his knowledge and deep understanding of motorcycles, motorcycle riders in general, and roadracers in particular with you.
