In the ’70s, Colin was joint MD at Brabham Cars with Bernie Ecclestone of F1 fame. In the ’80s, he managed the Norton Rotary Race Team. Today, he is still involved in many aspects of the motorcycle world.
This book covers the development of the Mk3 and 4 Seeley, his involvement with Bernie Eccelstone, the Seeley Hondas, Seeley TL200 Trails Bike, Seeley Quickfit, his involvement with Brabham Cars and Formula One, and his involvement with The Norton Rotary Team and the demise of Norton.

Beanre Motorcycle Nomad - is both a non-fiction story of a life-long adventure, and an inspirational tale. If anyone in this world is free, truly free, that someone is Beanre. Free from the 40 hour grind. Free from the credit card bills and mortgage payments that dog the rest of us. Free from dependence on drugs and alcohol.
Though it might seem that Beanre has nothing, it turns out he has a wealth of the things that are truly important. Things like friends in all 50 states and all over the world. Those friends include the well known and obscure, and both have contributed to this book with testimonials and simple stories about Beanre. With his status as a cult celebrity in the motorcycle world, Beanre is often the subject of photos taken at various events. And its these photos that fill the center of this book.
In addition to travel tales and testimonials, this new book includes tips on everything from breaking free of the daily grind, to learning how to live without chemicals. Theres a chapter on Beanres motorcycle travel tips: How to pack light, pass up the motels, keep an old bike on the road, and deal with the inevitable hassle of storms and breakdowns.
