Theresa Wallach is one of only three women ever to exceed 100mph at Brooklands. She held a degree in engineering from University College London, travelled alone all through the USA by motorcycle, started a business importing British motorcycles into the USA and eventually 'retired' to Phoenix, Arizona where she opened a school to teach motorcyclists how to ride properly and safely. To drive this message home she also wrote a well known book 'Easy Motorcycle Riding'. Theresa Wallach died on her 90th birthday in 1998.

The Antique Motorcycle "... a fascinating read." Vintage Motor Cycle "The book is beautifully produced ... an amazing video." WIMA "This is pure English eccentricity allied to serious resolve."
