Since his tragically early death in 1995, John Britten has deservedly taken his place as a great New Zealand hero. He was the man who, with a small dedicated team in Christchurch, designed and built from scratch the extraordinary Britten V-twin motorcycle. This is the first serious biography of John Britten to have been published, the result of five years research by the author Tim Hanna. It details his early life, the development of the early prototype motorcycles, and then the grueling cycle of hard work, setbacks and failures before the Britten V-twin finally beat the worlds best.
