Have just got this book and am only halfway through it but damn it is a bloody excellent read!

Total Control: High performance street riding techniques by Lee Parks.

I went for a ride after a few chapters and I was already able to see a big difference. I've read the keith code books, they're good and all but this is just better and I'd recommend it to anyone.
Now I might be able to keep up with skidmark and drop 8 seconds a lap and get my knee down..

It is a good book. I have a copy and was checking a couple of things last night :sunny:

When I first bought it, one of the first things it helped me with was low speed turns.

Easy to read and not full of writer analogies (i.e. wank).

So what's the trick to low-speed turns, then?

Only if your bike has USDs........ Otherwise, you're fucked. He will be able to undertake you using 30% of his talent.

Bah! And all this time I've been focusing on how I crook my little finger.
