    Thumbs up I feel enlightened

    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

    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).

    Yeah I got it too, plus read the Keith Code books, this is very good.
    Some of it common sense stuff but some good practical exercises and techniques, would highly recommend it.
