'Rocket' Ron Haslam is an extraordinary character. A former Grand Prix motorcycle road racer and winner of three World titles and four British championships, he has ridden in almost 110 Grands Prix. One of 10 brothers and sisters from a Derbyshire mining town, Ron started racing in 1972 at the age of 15. Despite losing two of his brothers in motorbike accidents, Haslam kept on riding in his chosen sport, with his most recent outing being on a Ducati 998 at the Race of the Year at Mallory Park in October 2004. His son, Leon, the 'Pocket Rocket', is following in his father's extremely speedy footsteps and is a very successful British Superbike racer - he was placed second in 2006 aged just 23 and was voted MCN's Man of the Year and Riders' Rider of the Year. This is the extraordinary story of a father and a son who are addicted to motorbikes and motorbike racing. Both colourful characters, their story takes us all the way from the 1970s to today and is full of hilarious high-octane derring-do and terrifying but exhilarating adventure.
