    Motorbooks are good.

    Hello,

    I decided it's time to get some reading that doesn't just have pictures of girls in it (this doesn't mean books with pictures of boys in it).

    I can't really decide between these, but they are in rough order of preference:
    1) Performance Riding Techniques: The MotoGP manual of track riding skills
    2) Sport Riding Techniques: How To Develop Real World Skills for Speed, Safety, and Confidence on the Street and Track
    3) Total Control: High Performance Street Riding Techniques

    I have mucked around a bit with Twist of the Wrist 2, but am looking for something else for variation. Can you recommend either of these above the others?

    Links:
    http://www.amazon.com/Performance-Ri...6282723&sr=8-9
    http://www.amazon.com/Sport-Riding-T...091941-2571954
    http://www.amazon.com/Total-Control-...6282723&sr=8-5

    And yeah yeah, why don't you just get out and ride, etc..

    Hey mate. Haven't actually read any of the above books myself so I can't make a recommendation based on that unfortunately... but based on what I'd like to work on myself and having a peek at those links, if it were me and I had to pick only one of the three options, I'd go for number 2. Still, like you, I'll be interested to hear what people who have read one or more of the titles have to say on them.

    Dude, hit up the local library. Might save you some bucks.

    Have read number 3 and would highly recommend it.
    I feel this is better than either of the twist books.

    Number 3 is available at Hamilton Public Libraries, and I'll have a look at it tomorrow. If it's available in The Hole, it's probably also at the libraries of other municipalities.

    I have No.2 and would highly reccomend it. Slightly different approach to Keith Code but excellent none the less.
