Interesting book, Munro is not a role model for sure, but he was amazing at turning junk into engine parts.  His knowledge of metal and how to find and use material for just about any engine part is impressive.  Also a good history of motorcycle development from the first bikes into the 60's, and dawn of Bonneville speed record setting.  Has much more than the movie "Run Good Run". According to the book Munro's greatest weakness was the he would not listen to advise of others.  Interesting book, Munro is not a role model for sure, but he was amazing at turning junk into engine parts.
