The Golden Age of the Continental Circus
Description
Two words that immediately evoke a period linked to motorcycle racing. A period when riders despised death and risks. Because their desire to satisfy their passion in complete freedom took precedence over everything. The Continental Circus is a unique and surprising human adventure, dedicated to speed. It has left a fascinating mark on those who experienced it live, as well as those who discovered it later. Through his personal memories, linked to all those he met, riders, mechanics, women or confidantes, Jacques Bussillet evokes the golden age of the Continental Circus. Illustrated by more than 300 photos, his testimony brings to life the true story of these mechanized nomads. They lived one of the most beautiful adventures of the second half of the 20th century. It also sheds an unexpected light on these crazy years of the 60s and 70s, the years of sex, speed and rock'n'roll...
