Grand Prix Motorcycle Racers: The American Heroes
Until the 1970s, North America was considered a backwater with respect to world championship–level motorcycle road racing. European racers viewed American riders as being less talented and rode around in circles on tracks made of dirt.

Roberts’ success launched an era of American dominance that lasted for nearly 20 years and still echoes through the annals of the sport.
