Inhaltsangabe

This is the second entry in the Memoirs of a Despatch Rider series in which S. P. Muir entertains us with anecdotes from his years as a London motorcycle messenger.In this sequel to ‘You’re Where Now?’ Muir once again transports us back to the 1980s when London was awash with hundreds - if not thousands - of motorcycle messengers. A breed apart and loathed by many, these unsung heroes were the lifeblood of London's economy. In an age before the advent of emails, the internet, or mobile phones, whether high finance, graphic design or the newspaper industry, without these hardy - and some would say suicidal - knights of the road, all would have soon ground to a halt.S. P. Muir gives another intriguing and humorous insight into what it was like to work within this brotherhood of economically essential outlaws. A must for bikers everywhere, this is entertaining and eye-opening reading for anyone else as well.
