A project of this size is bound to suffer setbacks. Keith Ball uses a personal, narrative style to take the readers on a wild ride, through the ups and downs of building The Worlds Fastest Panhead. Building a Bonneville Salt Flats winner presents a whole series of hurdles. Keith describes each hurdle, and how it was overcome, from determining the best frame dimensions to making the un-streamlined machine as aerodynamic as possible.
Everything Keith Ball has ever done, currently does, or will do in the future is steeped in “adventure, dreams and the desire to see vision come to fruition.” The words that he has written, the bikes that he has built, and the odysseys he has enjoyed over the years have proven this again and again. This book is definitely not a pure “how-to” book; in Keith’s words, it’s “about an adventure, a dream and the desire to see the vision to fruition” —a portrait that goes miles beyond the hands-on building and racing of a motorcycle. It’s a perfect portrait of so much that makes up the soul of this lifestyle
