Description
When Bill Ivy was fatally injured while practising for the East German Grand Prix in July 1969, motorcycle racing lost one of its greatest ever competitors. As a tribute to Bill, leading bike author Mick Walker has written Bill Ivy: The Will to Win. Bill Ivy was certainly not only a great rider, but a unique personality. He had a steely determination to succeed, an almost fearless courage, which meant he never backed away from a challenge, a love of fashion and fast cars – and although only 5 feet 2 inches tall, he more than made up for his lack of stature, by his immense upper body strength, which meant he could cope with any size of motorcycle from a 50cc Itom to a 750cc Norton-engined matchless G15 CSR. It was as a member of the Yamaha factory team that he not only became world champion, but also set the first 100mph TT lap record on a 125cc machine – only a decade after Bob McIntyre had first achieved his feat on a machine with an engine size four times larger!
