Best Books for track/street riding

[bobafeets]

Couldn't find a thread about this. So figured I'd start one. Two of my favorites.(click the title for link to amazon page)

Twist of the Wrist 2-Love the book can be really detailed. Can give newer riders a hard time in some parts when talking about suspension and a few other things. Other wise VERY good read. 9 of 10

Total Control: High Performance Street Riding Techniques- Best book I have ever read for new riders. It is very simple to understand and explains things in great detail. Even quotes a bit of Keith Code. Goes over EVERYTHING a beginner would need to know about motorcycles. Even has diagrams on how to practice certain skills. Showing throttle and brake positions. It even goes into health and fitness and explaining riding gear. A must have for new and semi experienced riders. 10 of 10


Both these books are under $20 and I would guess about 80% of riders out there will gain SOMETHING from them. And when your done keep em for your kids. Or pass them along to another new rider. Thank you all for your time.

I'll concure on the TotW2. TotW(1) isn't all THAT great, but 2 is pretty good, mediocre acting, but the message is good

Favorite: ienatsch, sport riding techniques
Runner ups in order:
Total control, lee parks
Twist of wrist I &II, code

Reading Ibbotts book right now but not far enough in to review yet. Comes with good reviews though ( code does the intro).

Of course proficient motorcycling 1 & 2, Hough, is excellent for beginner and street safety survival.

This list is highly recommended. I have yet to read twist of wrist though.
