    Doubt many on here think they need it.

    Everyone seems to be expert at everything!

    I watched these not long ago. Really quite good eh? Though pretty corny for the most part, I'm sure most people can learn at least something from it.

    your dead right, the "experts" on here will no doubt say the advise offered in this series is absolute shit and they know best ...there loss really
    I personally think this series should be given to all new riders to study
    I had to laugh at the acting as well ...some corny scenes for sure, but excellent viewing non the less

    So is Keith Code the clown who's created all the focus on 'chicken strips'?

    I couldn't even sit through part 1.

    Too much cheese for me.

    No, he just realises that it is the clowns who are already focused on 'chicken strips' and ground pegs, are the ones who need to be targeted. Its a damn good book, and even though some riders will use it to go faster on the road, on balance they will still be safer; and most of us just read it to be safer on the road.

    Quite frankly, the DVD cover gives an indication to the real intent of the DVD.

    Regardless of whether you're safer doing it for having seen the DVD, the intent is still to teach you how to ride faster.

    no duh! Its aimed at racers...

    However there are plenty of things that one can apply from this on the road. Throttle control, cornering properly and braking techniques to name a few.

    Racing on the road is up to the individual. However its pointless to think that track techniques are useless on the road.
