Would it be fair to say that all the principles explained in this book are relevant still? I was always told that you take what you want from the book i.e. not everyone agrees with what is said.

Having trouble articulating myself today.

Bruce Lee always advocated learning everything but only practice and hone the skills/techniques that work for you.

Similar philosophy ?

All apply brilliantly mate, I have read all his books and others by different writers, and 100% believe that Kieth Codes A Twist of the wrist is the very best of them all.

I think that his later books became a continued money making idea

Take what you want from it, But I applied all exercises as per described and really worked at them, I ended up on the Japanes Superbike Grid after only having done 15 Road races in my life and no dirt riding!

I still operate to the basic principles of his guide

Twist of the Wrist II is the better, more up-to-date version.

there's a difference between a twist of the wrist, and twist of the wrist II ??

I have version 2 in pdf in that case

21st November 2006, 11:56
is it possible someone could "lend" me a pdf of the first one ?
:innocent:

I'd like version one also ;)
can trade for version 2 :)

How big are they? They could be "accidently" posted up here for all to "view" for later purchase.

I'd be keen to grab a PDF of version II. I have the book at the moment but am only borrowing it from CaN, and must return it soon... Would the PDF be on a disc or is it linked off somewhere online?

I do want to start racing so I figure reading the instructions is cheaper and less painful than newbie trial and error.

Thanks boys for the links

I'm in the process of reading this book. And from what I've tried to apply so far - it's bloody brilliant!! This info applies to ALL riders. it's bloody good (as stated earlier). I like corners.

Awesome, great stuff!!!

Anyone got number 1 on pdf floating around?

Sorry to spoil things guys.

This is Dylan Code. Keith is my father and he asked me to look into this. Twist 2 is copyrighted and sending this PDF around is cause for concern. No one is playing hardball football-fan style at this point. Terminaladdict was contacted and was very cooperative.

Twist 1 is available for purchase as an interactive CD ROM.

I'm with the writers on this...pay your money for the book and appreciate the advice in it.
It's a brilliant book and should help any rider, Twist 2 is a rewrite of 1 with additional info, there is no point IMHO in reading Twist 1 now.

Give yourselves a Xmas present guys....

I'll second that about TOTW. The biggest ever contribution to my riding education. So please thank your father. He'll never know how much of a difference it made.

And let him know, if he ever gets down this way, there's a little hill we've got down here that we put his theories into practice every time we ride it.

Dont get me started on the mp3 debate but if the book is really that good we should be supporting him yea?

I figured if we can get a few copies at once it will cost less - about NZD$40

Maybe someone could bump this up where lots of people can see it.

I don't mind buying em but I'd want the money before I start ordering.

If you are too much of a tightwad to buy the book,get it from the library like I did.You pay rates,get your money's worth.

Yes. It is that good. Get it. Or do as Motu said, and get it out of the library.

Wellington Library has it (see attachment) - It's on loan but you could book it.

The book is available from Fishpond (.com or whatever...use google) for $30.27 a copy right now.

Fishpond is a NZ site and deliver in about a week.


Buy....c'mon its Xmas, get into consumerism (hope Hitcher didn't spot the americanism)

thanks for interest in this thread. I havent downloaded the internet copy as I dont have access to printer but will buy it, as I prefer to have a hard copy anyhow, easier to read while on the bog

But if it's a library copy you can eat vegemite on toast while reading it and not worry.

The book is brilliant but the courses are even better - I did levels 1,2,3 & 4 of the California superbike school in the UK.... Forget spending money on new exhausts and go-faster bits... the best investment you can make is an investment in your riding skills.

Hey Dylan, any chance of getting some training going in New Zealand ?

I sent a message to Steve Brouggy in Oz to see what can be done about holding a school over there for you guys. The UK school goes to locations away from home base like South Africa and Dubai and this would be a similar set-up. It takes some planning and all that but it's possible to work out. I'll let you guys know if there are any good developments.

Definitely have a look! NZ being a smaller country, getting a race track for a weekend shouldn't be too hard!

I bought the video (on VHS - no DVDs in those days...) Production values could be better, and is 'kin boring. Mest get around to capping it to DVD. The book is better IMO.
