    You could try your local library I know that the Rotorua one has his books.

    Otherwise I could get them at the RRP for you

    umm, you might struggle to find "Flick of the wrist" :spudwhat:

    There are 2 "Twist of the wrist" books, aptly titled TOTW I and TOTW II. You can get them at Techbooks in Newmarket if you can't turn the books up anywhere else

    They're even on that InterWeb thingamajig:

    The content is all good, still can't help my crappy riding though

    Oh, yeah, thanks guys. It is Twist of the wrist 1 & 2. I tried the local library website - they had the TOTW 1 but the last person to borrow it nicked it. I'll check out Techbooks, thanks for the link. I guess if it saves a fairing on one occasion, it's worth the cost.
    Cheers

    Think of it as an investment in your riding career and well being, in the same token that your helmet and leathers are. You're piloting one of the most potent two wheeled machines on the planet in the Gixxer Thou. The Code books may or may not save a fairing, but they'll sure contribute to your enjoyment of riding and remind you that you're ALWAYS learning out there.

    Don't forget to keep the shiny side up
