    Hi guys. I got some help from members on this forum regarding the copyright issue and I really appreciate it.

    Sounds like a good bunch of guys down there in Kiwi land.

    I'll second that about TOTW. The biggest ever contribution to my riding education. So please thank your father. He'll never know how much of a difference it made.

    And let him know, if he ever gets down this way, there's a little hill we've got down here that we put his theories into practice every time we ride it.

    It's a brilliant book and should help any rider, Twist 2 is a rewrite of 1 with additional info, there is no point IMHO in reading Twist 1 now.

    Give yourselves a Xmas present guys....
    Dont get me started on the mp3 debate but if the book is really that good we should be supporting him yea?

    I figured if we can get a few copies at once it will cost less - about NZD$40

    Maybe someone could bump this up where lots of people can see it.

    I don't mind buying em but I'd want the money before I start ordering.

    If you are too much of a tightwad to buy the book,get it from the library like I did.You pay rates,get your money's worth.

    Yes. It is that good. Get it. Or do as Motu said, and get it out of the library.

    Wellington Library has it (see attachment) - It's on loan but you could book it.

    The book is available from Fishpond (.com or whatever...use google) for $30.27 a copy right now.

    Fishpond is a NZ site and deliver in about a week.

    thanks for interest in this thread. I havent downloaded the internet copy as I dont have access to printer but will buy it, as I prefer to have a hard copy anyhow, easier to read while on the bog

    But if it's a library copy you can eat vegemite on toast while reading it and not worry.

    The book is brilliant but the courses are even better - I did levels 1,2,3 & 4 of the California superbike school in the UK.... Forget spending money on new exhausts and go-faster bits... the best investment you can make is an investment in your riding skills.

    Hey Dylan, any chance of getting some training going in New Zealand ?

    I sent a message to Steve Brouggy in Oz to see what can be done about holding a school over there for you guys. The UK school goes to locations away from home base like South Africa and Dubai and this would be a similar set-up. It takes some planning and all that but it's possible to work out. I'll let you guys know if there are any good developments.
