About this title

Synopsis

'Those who risk nothing, do nothing, achieve nothing, become nothing.' The epitaph inscribed on David Jefferies’ gravestone is not a quote from classic literature but the words of the man himself. It was the code he lived by, and ultimately, died by. As the undisputed master of the most dangerous race track in the world, the Isle of Man TT course, the affable Yorkshireman risked so much and achieved such legendary status before losing his life in practice for the 2003 TT. John McGuinness rated him as ‘probably the most naturally talented rider in the British paddock’. This is his story.
