Synopsis
The heart-pumping autobiography of Shane 'Shakey' Byrne, the most successful British Superbike Champion in history.
Shane 'Shakey' Byrne knows what it is like to live on the edge. The only person to have won the British Superbike Championship six times, Shakey is a living motorbike legend with legions of fans across the country.
In Unshakeable, Shakey tells his incredible life story for the first time, from being abandoned as a newborn baby in a London hospital to multiple brushes with the law and working night shifts on the London Underground to fund his early racing career. Shakey's passion for motorbikes was unstoppable, whether he was racing BMXs or joyriding through Kent.
With breathless exhilaration, Shakey relives the thrill of every victory, chicane and overtake, as well as the hospital visits and painstaking recoveries from horrendous crashes in which he nearly lost his life. From Ducatis and monster motorhomes to hard-fought glory, Unshakeable is a story of inspiration, break-neck speed and a life lived truly on, and over, the limit in one of the most exciting and dangerous sports on the planet.
