Looking to expand my knowledge.. please help..!

RJprod · March 18th, 2013, 01:39 PM

As most of you know, I'm a noob. not a clueless newbie, but a newbie nonetheless (

).

what good youtube videos, dvd series you would recommend to me... now before jumping to conclusion, understand that I have 1500 miles under my belt (bragging ah ah). I mention that because I don't want you guys to recommend stuff like how to start the bike, clutch control and so forth.. suggest the most useful stuff.

oh and no Keith code's, I already know of that. it's on my list.

Thank you

great finds.. thank you.. as far as books go, I hate reading them. I'd prefer watching a video instead. I think am more of a visual learner kinna guy.

but thanks very much.. will be checking each and everyone of the finds

You've passed MSF, correct?

csmith12 · March 18th, 2013, 01:56 PM

lol.. yessir.. first thing I did before buying a bike.. Although I must admit most of the knowledge I expect to gain won't have anything to do with the MSF course...

nickjpass · March 18th, 2013, 02:03 PM

My bad... Kinda realized that after I posted. One of the best ways is too work on your bike

And watch motorcycle races.. you can improve your technique

buy a full suit, take your bike to track days. you will learn more at the track then you will anywhere else. after a couple days take a track school.

Street specific & probably boring as hell but a very useful book

Roadcraft - the police rider's handbook.

CycleCam303 · March 19th, 2013, 01:15 AM

Along with the track days and instruction suggestions I second the sport riding techniques book and also lee parks total control. Including those two books I also read twist of the wrist II. IMHO read total control and nicks sport riding techniques. Either order, it doesn't matter. They both are books about street riding but talking about solid technique you could use on the track. This will sound weird to most people but the twist of the wrist II book would be a much better book after you have a handful of track days under your belt or you've been keeping up with some fast street riders for a bit. After my recent read through I feel Keith codes book is the most understandable and appropriate for someone that has a solid background if you will. Not that you don't but the other books are way better for getting someone up to speed on high performance riding. Keith code just helps build on that riding base.
