Good Riding Technique Books

I have been riding for a few years but as the winter approaches I would like to hear from you, the experts, as to good books on riding technique and safety. I have learned a great deal just reading this forum but would like to know what you would suggest. Thanks

IMHO - by far the best is Nick Ienatsch's Sport Riding Techniques. A good second is Reg Pridmores - Smooth Riding the Pridmore Way. -- -- Read, practice, repeat.

Agreed! I review it every spring before riding season. IMO, his approach is great for street riders.

I learned a lot from Lee Park's book. I really ought to pick up the Ienatsch book to compare.

I've read both and both are good

I'm making my way through Lee Parks' Total Control and am impressed so far.

I'm Reading "Total control" now...... The last one I finished was David L . Hough's "More Proficient Motorcycling".

Thanks gents! I guess my next stop is Amazon. Once again this forum is a graeat source of info.

Twist of the wrist II - Kieth Code has good info in it, I found the writting to be a bit simplistic but the lessons are good. Astricks on words that are not advanced IMHO for definition seems overkill to me, when Kieth isnt tripping on his own tongue he can teach you somthing about riding a motorcycle. If you can get over the language issues he has some great lessons.

Video is good (but cheesy acting) showing how bike behaves, countersteer examples and dealing with bad road services

Same here - good stuff and explained in a way that even I can understand it :goofy:

I am a Lee Parks ARC Coach and highly recommend his Book "Total Control". Lee Parks book is the reason I became an ARC Coach (I am a student for life). "Twist of the Wrist 1", "Twist of the Wrist II" and the Twist of the Wrist DVD by Keith Code, also provide great information and cover riding techniques very well. Also check Tracy Martin's book "Motorcycle Electrical Systems - Troubleshooting and Repair", (he worked on the Total Control book with Lee Parks), and also "Sportbike Suspension Tuning" by Andrew Trevitt

I wish they made all these books available on the Kindle.
