This was the first book on riding I have read. I was misled by reviews and rating of this book on amazon when I bought it, so I want to place my 2 cents in. I would recommend to read the following books first:
#1 Gary S. Jaehne “Sportbiking: The Real World”
#2 Nick Ienatsch “Sport Riding Techniques”
#3 Keith Code “Twist of the wrist II
#4 David Hough “Proficient Motorcycling”
If you will have time and money left, buy this one, though number of leader’s portrets in the book (about 30 counting only persons lacking a helmet) is a bit excessive in my opinion. It is printed on a really excellent paper though…

The book is full of very useful information and techniques for street and track riding and is a fantastic addition to any motorcyclist’s collection of books on riding technique.
The thing that ruined it for me was the leader’s picture (head shot with different and sometimes goofy expressions) on each chapter’s beginning… I establish it very annoying.

This book may be a excellent read for a name that is new to riding a sport bike, with only a very basic thought of how to ride. It does go into some excellent fundemental tips and techniques, he also reviews some riding gear, and setting up your ergo’s. So, if this is the first motorcycle book you have ever bought, and you have only been riding for a small while, and dont plot on being a hard-core knee dragger, then sure buy this book.
But, if you are an veteran rider, this book is flat out dull. I even caught myself shaking my head in disbelief at some of this guys points of view and advice. Plus this guy is just straight up a dork, he try’s to be amusing, but he really gets on my nerves.

I have heard such fantastic things about Lee Park’s riding clinics that I thought I’d try his book. I establish it pretty basic. I was really expecting a lot more info about exactly how to improve your riding techniques. He gives a few exercises, but it’s not very detailed about how to do them correctly, common mistakes, how to tell what you’re doing incorrect, how to fix a terrible habit, etc. I’m sure he has all that info — it’s just not in his book. I guess you have to take his seminar before he unlocks the treasure chest of knowledge.

Nice book,BUT some things are clarified well but others are not.For example,
on the” ten steps to proper cornering” WHERE THE HECK IS “BRAKING”?.Although there is a chapter on braking it is really forgotten the “ten steps”unless he considers it to be over before the first step which is “reposition foot”
,but then it would not agree really with the braking chapter.At least there should be advice like “you can brake between that and that step…”or something like it.
Anyway he keeps referring to KEITH CODE so at the end I was thinking that should have bought Keith Codes books,especially after attending CSS…
really I might just do that…
