About the Author
Darryl Flack has been a motorcycle journalist since 1990, commencing his writing career with Australian Motorcycle News as its Sydney editor. He freelanced for Two Wheels, REVS, Cycle Torque, Britain's Motor Cycle News, U.S weekly Cycle News, and served as Australian correspondent for MotoGP.com. In 2018 he co-authored Race Across the Great Divide - How the 1970s Transformed Aussie Motorcycle Racing.Β
Lucas Radbourne thinks he could have gone pro if it hadn't been for his bad knee. Instead, he settled for being an editor for FourFourTwo Australia, FTBL, The Women's Game and Beat Magazine. He's also a director of a non-profit foundation and has been published in The Guardian, News Corp and magazines across Australia and the United Kingdom. He's worked in Moscow and Berlin - among 26 other countries - authored his first book and trained a border collie that sits before it crosses the road.
That was Lucas's first 25 years. Now he's planning to spend most of his money on booze, birds and fast cars. He heard once that the rest you just squander.
