BROOKLANDS MUSEUM (UK) – TALK by KEITH FUTCHER and The Short Ride Down to the talk

Brooklands logo .jpg

Broadcast by Brooklands Radio and on BM.tv Livestream, the author and his compatriots from Absurd were invited, by Members of Brooklands Museum (BM), to a talk chaired by member John Bottomley on the evening of 19 May 2022.  A signature event to which they rode motorcycles from York, their original starting point, in their minds thinking: you are never too old to ride out on your motorbike in search of adventure.

"Keith Futcher’s Absurd is high adventure blended with life lessons told so vividly that by the time you put the book down you’ll find yourself brushing dust from his adventure off your own skin."
