You should read this....

I have A Twist of the Wrist II by Keith Code.

I've read about 1/3 of the way through it and it is highly educational. I have started to apply things from the book to my daily commute, and the bike handles so much better.

My favorite line from the book so far is:
Quote:
Riders create more problems than motorcycles are designed to handle
This is true and I was doing it myself. Not so much anymore.

I don't know why I got this book first, and not the first book in the set. After I read this, I'm going to get the first book.

A great read and a must have IMHO for every rider's library. Just thought I'd share!

I also really like Total Control by Lee Parks. This book taught me how to corner!
