Not likely to be THE #1 BESTSELLER!
But guaranteed to keep you chuckling when it’s too dark to find your riding boots! The Best Of Last Over is a labor of love by two hardcore dirt motorcyclers from opposite ends of the earth. Paul Clipper left behind a failing housepainting business and a painfully average enduro riding career in the wilds of New Jersey, and came west to seek his fortune in the world of motorcycles, In 1978, he landed a job on the staff of Dirt Motorcycle Magazine, and has written a monthly column called ‘Last Over’ since the beginning, he is still a painfully average enduro rider. Murray Watt is an ex-New Zealander who now hails from Sydney, Australia. He is one of the top enduro riders from the land Down Under, his best finish to date being second Aussie and silver medalist in the tough International Six Day Enduro in Wales. This unlikely couple first met in 1982, in a guard house on the Czechoslovakian border headed in the wrong direction. Thus was born a very unique relationship that has gone downhill ever since!
From the book:
‘We may be able to squeeze a fourth over piston into this thing,’ said the old mechanic, picking with a greasy finger at a few flakes of aluminum still stuck to the walls of the much-abused cylinder. ‘But if we do, it’ll be your last over for certain!’
