Description: If you have ever seen the movie "One Man's Dream" (our code 5099) , then you will know some of the story of the amazing character that was John Britten. He was the man who, with a small dedicated team in New Zealand, designed and built from scratch the extraordinary Britten V-twin motorcycle. John Britten was a dreamer, inspired by the wildest flights of imagination, but he was set apart from most dreamers by his ability to act on his dreams, by the depth of his talent, the tenacity of his character and the strength of his spirit. After 5 years ot research the author Tim Hanna has finally been able to give due credit to the man and his achievements. This meticulously written biography details his early life, the development of his vision and the early prototype motorcycles, and then the gruelling cycle of unbelievably hard work, setbacks and failures before the Britten V-twin was finally able to beat the worlds best.
