MAD is billed as a "completely different, colourful, humorous and, at times daring portrayal of this man's career".
Steve Parrish raced at the highest level of motorcycle racing, becoming British champion in 1976 and fifth in the 1977 500cc world championship, as team mate to that year's champion Barry Sheene.
Barry who met Steve in 1975 is quoted as saying: "If he was to set up his bike as well as his victims and had put as much effort into the bike as he did the intricate pranks he pulled on people he would certainly have been a World Champion."
Parrish is also co-hosting, with ex-race Jamie Whitham, the Blackhorse stage entertainment at Motorcycle Live, which opens tomorrow and runs until 6 December at the NEC, Birmingham.
With the show opening an hour earlier on Friday, Saturday(s) and Sunday(s) this means stage activity will be running for even longer - more interviews, more celebrities, more games and more prizes.
Each day there will be a host of riders and celebrities interviewed on the main stage, across a spectrum of BSB, WSB, Moto GP, Speedway, and TT disciplines. Riders will be on hand for signing sessions and photo opportunities.
