Joe Scalzo, a survivor of the lost Grand National culture, colorfully recaptures the golden era of American motorcycle life, when racing wasn’t a business but a lifestyle.
Grand National covers the series’ early days in the 1950s, the heydays of the 1960s, the high-end bikes of the 1970s, and the changes that brought Grand National into the twenty-first century. Scalzo’s firsthand stories, along with two-hundred photos, capture the bikes, the characters, and the races that made Grand National fast, roughhouse, and a little crazy-both on and off the track.
Whether it is 2 wheels, 4 wheels, on water or in the air, humans will thrive on the need for speed. Within this digital vault are collections of images and stories that make up Canada’s rich motor racing history.
