Dita

<p>One magical spring afternoon when the leaves on the trees were budding and the birds in the air were singing Walter Kaaden a mechanical engineer looking for work found an abandoned motorcycle deep in the forest outside of Zschopau East Germany.</p><p>Walter used the principles of V-2 rocketry he learned from Werner von Braun at Peenemünde to coax the genie - trapped inside Dita's piddly 50 cc motor - to life.</p><p>Under his care and attention Dita became the fastest motorcycle on the Continental Circuit. An angel yet still a trickster she loved men and women indiscriminately. British Canadian or German the only person she couldn't get was the Italian she hadn't met.</p><p>Greg Randall captures the seduction of motorcycling and the eroticism of the mechanical. <em>Dita</em> is not just about racing winning and twisting wrenches it is about harmony finding your place in this world and the art of living well together.</p><p>What more could you ask for?</p><p>...perhaps a slightly faster bike.</p>
