When I saw Chris racing in BSB I looked forward to seeing every rece on TV. I didn't get out to many race meetings; his style of riding is incredible & often I was on the edge of the sofa shouting at the telly.
For Christmas 2007 the in-laws bought me this book.
It is bloody brilliant! Very moving, & very entertaining. It was very hard to put the book down.
I recommend this to any Stalker fan.
The only downside is I haven't had the chance to meet the man to get my book signed.

What can I say about this book that has not already been said. bguyfghugyg. Yup thats about it.
I am a massive motorcycle racing fan, and a stalker fan too so unsuprisingly the book was awesome.
This book is very easy to read due to the level of humour and down to earth feel about the man himself.
Not self absorbed and arrogant like Foggy, oh no. Chris recalls all the good and bad times as they happened, not with excuses and bullsh**.
Who can forget the heartbreak of 2000, or the elation of 2006 assen.
Not to mention the stories of the skinny little boy growing up crashing everything he rode!!!!
Any fan of motorsport, I urge you to buy and read this book. You will not be dissapointed. The stalker is not only the housewives favourite and peoples champ, he is a down to earth honest racer through and through. His story is a lesson to us all....... crashing hurts...
One of the funniest autobiographies out there. December 17, 2007

Can't I give this book 10 stars Uncle Amazon? It's ace! You don't have to love Superbikes to love this book in fact it is permissible to detest all things 2 wheeled and still love this book. Stalker is a frank, absolutely hilarious and unpretentious autobiography. From his early days kick starting a motorbike under his duvet in his dreams at the age of 3 to his long over due WSB win at Assen in 2006 Chris comes over as a humble, loveable, endearingly childlike character, although I suspect a hard man of racing who makes the rest look like ickle titchy kittens when it comes to enduring pain probably won't thank me for the latter. How Chris still walks in a straight line is a miracle. His ability to ride in races with broken bones as if they were no more than a paper cut is unbelievable. This man has no pain threshold. What a stoic. What he does have however, which shines all the way through the book, is a true love for what he is doing. His determination, stamina, and total skill often hampered by bad luck and injury. Chris walker is a true star. Spurred on by his dad John, a man of few but sidesplitting words, The Stalker is a genuine self-effacing, very funny man who desires to win not only for himself but also for his hoards of followers. When he retires however may I suggest he takes to the stage along with his dad John. Morecambe and Wise have been off the box for too long bring on Walker & Walker. Buy this book everyone it's superb. S*** hot!

Brilliant read, could'nt put it down. What a sense of humour this bloke has on and off the track. You would not believe the bad luck and injuries this man has endured and still rides with such determination and passion. Only one thing to say - 'Keep On Riding Chris'
