Excellent. A must for all riders of all abilities  |
Ever wondered why your bike does what it does, when it does it and why? How do those fast riders get around corners so quickly? I used to ask all of these questions myself. And if I ever asked anybody who could ride like that how they did it, they just smiled and walked off with a dont you know look on their face. When I read this book, it answered all of those questions and more. I thought I was a fast road rider, but after reading this book and more importantly, making sure I understood each aspect of what it was explaining, I became quicker, more in control, more comfortable with what the bike was doing, but more importantly, safer. I did have to slow down for a couple of months as I completely changed my riding style, but it was worth it. I recommend this book to riders at all levels. By the way, I ride a Fireblade.

You dont have to be a racer to appreciate this book.  |
As a newbie (and nervous) biker, I found _Twist II_ turned my riding around. Code achieves complete clarity of style; the glossaries are initially irritating, but they work in hammering home the point that he is picking his words carefully and means *exactly* what he says.Not all of the material is applicable to street riding, but Codes mental toolkit approach means that most of it is still very useful to non-racers. I didnt buy this book to learn how to go faster, just how to ride with improved smoothness and confidence; now I ride faster *as well*. Read a chapter or two at a time, attentively, and stop being your bikes worst enemy.

A MUST read for any motorcyclist!  |

Ever wondered why you get "that corner" right sometimes and wrong others? Well heres your chance to find out. Keith Code explains in clear and easy to understand terms, what make your bike stick to the road like glue one day and then slide the next. The book is written primarily for road racers, but dont let that put you off. After reading this book several times now, I have learned so much about riding on the road, that I am forever in Daves debt for lending me his copy before I bought mine. If you read this book and take it in, you will become a smoother, cleaner and faster rider. So take the time to read it, and enjoy your riding afterwards. N.B. Keith Code runs the California Superbike school and has trained riders like Doug Chandler, so he knows what hes talking about.
