Julian Amos Knihy

"I was flying along the main straight now, almost flat-out.A light twin-engine aircraft, hidden from me by the slight uphill climb of the track for the first half of the main straight, was coming in to attempt a landing.We were about 100ft apart and closing on each other at a combined speed of perhaps as much as 300mph..." A Motorcycle Development Test Rider, Julian Amos has ridden over a million miles on motorbikes across 27 countries. He is the first person to identify what needs to be fixed on a machine long before a customer rides it out of the showroom. Julian also writes for motorcycle magazines in the UK, Australia and Portugal. In the 80s he was a member of several bands. Test Rider tells his unique story.

Written for 9-to-12-year-olds, this illustrated children's story introduces the subject of memory loss. A group of children discover that an old lady in a care home has flown aeroplanes during the war, and their interest, together with their access to the internet, bring her memories flooding back - with a delightful outcome.
