About this listen
Shane ‘Shakey’ Byrne knows what it is like to live on the edge. The most successful rider in British Superbike history, he is the only person to have won the championship six times. Shakey is a living motorbike legend, with legions of fans across the country.
For the first time Shakey tells his life story, 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. Whether it was on his BMX or joyriding through Kent, the only thing Shakey ever wanted to do was race motorbikes.
Once he had got his break, Shakey quickly developed a reputation as one of the most exciting riders of his generation, and the thrill of every victory, every chicane and every overtake, as well as the hospital visits and painstaking recovery, is relived in heart-pumping detail.
Unshakeable is an incredible story of winning and risk-taking, of horrendous crashes in which he nearly lost his life, of Ducatis and monster motorhomes, and of hard-fought glory in one of the most exciting and dangerous sports on the planet. Told with breathless exhilaration, Shakey’s story is one of inspiration, break-neck speed and a life lived truly on, and over, the limit.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Secondly, apologies to Shaky Byrne as I was a Toseland, Hopkins supporter always thought you ad a bit “cocky”……HOWEVER I take my hat off to your lifelong dedication to the sport, the fans and your family

Every bit as good as I thought it would be
As the title suggests, I didn't want to stop listening to it, and will definitely have to buy a paper copy too and will listen to this again also one day.

Incredible
Incredible story giving fans a real in-site to not only his upbringing and early life but his career and all the goings on with contracts and negotiations that you never get to hear about. You also hear about his accident from his wife’s perspective. Only down side there’s not another 20 chapters !

Incredible
This book gives such a great insight to the mind of Shane “Shakey” Byrne. Not only that but Shane irons out some of the things in his career that weren’t covered in the media, giving great in depth stories throughout. This book made me laugh and brought tears to my eye, highly recommend this to any racing fan.

Top book so far this year
Enjoyed this from start to finish. Such an honest tale of a life dedicated to his sport only matched by the love for his family.
Shane wasnt handed it on a silver plate, he earned what he got and it tells. A humble champion with a bit more luck could have been a world superstar.
Tough as nails but a soft heart, big respect.
