Böcker av Nigel M Sainsbury

Nigel tells his own unique story about growing up in a small coal mining village in South Wales in a ''no holds barred'' approach. His teenage transition from civilian to military life is not without issues. However, his exploits and experiences are all valuable life lessons and he reflects hard on his learning from both positive and negative events. These reflections add authenticity to the story that is engaging for the reader whilst offering them the opportunity to reflect on their own thoughts and decisions when faced with a similar set of circumstances. Nigel is the first to admit that he doesn''t always get things right, but he always does his best recognising that he is the sum of his own decisions. After all, as he suggests, he is just a ''Gifted Amateur.'' 

If you understand the meaning of the phrase 'One Down, Four Up', this book has been written with you in mind. If you don't understand the title, this book offers the reader a great learning opportunity to understand the people who ride or just enjoy motorcycles. Nigel's love of motorcycles has been with him since he was able to keep a couple of rotating wheels between his legs and grab some handlebars. His early pushbike experience naturally progressed to mopeds and then onto larger and different types of motorcycles. Nigel explains his choice of bikes, some of the technical and historical details of the models and brands, and the adventures he has had by riding motorcycles on the three continents he has lived.
