Paul Ritter’s Racing The Gods
As usual, there are a stack of books on my nightstand in queue. I try hard NOT to pick necessarily what I want to read and go in order because otherwise I’d end up reading nothing but motorcycle and adventure books.
Happily though, Paul’s book came to the forefront last night. In a word: “captivating”.
First, I was ignorant to Paul’s career. Now I’m aware. There are other bits in there I won’t mention, but surely stuff most don’t know.
I’m only a few pages in, but can already recommend it to any of you. Even just the foreword by Cook Neilson is great.
Sorry it’s taken so long Paul, and sorry I didn’t know your history, but I’m excited to read and learn more! Much respect from one lowly racer to a much much better one.

Yes, big +1. Read it several months ago and got copies for a few friends. I was surprised to learn so much I didn't know as well. Inside a captivating life story. Thanks Paul!

Met Paul at Barber a couple of years ago at one of Vickie's Fly on the
Wall events. It was fun listening to him relate stories and I had him
autograph my copy. I also have the book in electronic format and re-read
certain segments when the notion occurs to me. A good read, and should be a
part of any Ducatisti's library.
