A Twist of the Wrist: Basics of High-performance Motor Cycle Riding - Volume 2: Basics of High-performance Motor Cycle Riding Vol 2

After reading this book cover to cover I find myself returning to it and looking up particular areas I feel I need brushing up on. Unlike a novel where you read it once, maybe twice and never pick it up again, this is a book you will read once and refer to many times over. Well worth the money I paid for it and delivery was on on time and in a good condition on arrival, which to be honest I found surprising given that its a soft back book shipped internationally. It deserves every twinkle of the 5 star rating I have given it!

Recommended this by an advanced rider friend, I felt like an improved rider even after the first chapter, excellent book.

I could not recommend this book more. It is well structured, clear, with detailed explanations of why you should take specific action. All chapters flow well. I read this over the course of a week taking a bike out to test where / when possible and found my riding has improved already. While I am not track riding yet, this book is equally useful for road riders and will lay great foundations for later track rides. Best biking book I've ever read!

I give this product five starts because every bit of information within is applicable to any riding scenario. It is all easy to understand and the book follows a good progression to help the reader to progress in a natural way. This book is a good investment for any motorcycle rider and along with practice it will help you become a safer rider as well as faster on the track.

I'd thoroughly recommend the book for it's information which is intelligent and informative. Unfortunately the author seems to believe that we need a dictionary at the end of every section to explain the meaning of commonly used words such as 'average' and 'similar'! A glossary of technical terms must have been the aim but it went astray somewhere. The use of the asterisk at every verse end becomes incredibly irritating and the layout is like something off a whiteboard as scribbled during a classroom session.Apart from these niggles it's a great book that just needs a professional author to organise it a little better.

This book is awesome!! if you go on trackdays or ride the roads in a "spirited way" then this book will help you to not only be faster but safer as well. i went from timid road riding to Oulton park trackday in a year. There is a lot in there, pretty much everything there is to know about riding a bike, but the chapters guide you through the most important stuff first: counter steering, throttle control.

This book takes you into the detail of how to feel safer on your bike and ride faster in the corners. Since reading this book I feel more confident in the corners, I understand a lot more about what to do when I start to run wide and what causes it.Need a third book to cover seating position, hook turns and a bit more on pick up.

Here is a book by someone who knows the science and art of Bike riding more than anyone and who has the ability to offer his readers what they need to know to improve their riding skills . I have benefitted from this book as well as from his Videos quite a lot .

Keith Code is a highly respected person in the motorcycle industry. He’s been connected with major magazines and owns a sport bike school on the West Coast. He’s been in the motorcycle industry for years and is highly regarded as an expert on many things, most especially riding techniques, which he shares in this book A Twist of The Wrist II.Ok, so you might be saying, I don’t ride a sport bike or ride fast on a sport bike, I don’t need this. Well, I'd say you’d be wrong. Because riding a motorcycle at anytime and anywhere uses the same basic principles covered in this book. While the book concentrates on riding fast, it gives valuable information on the physics and mechanics of riding a motorcycle. No matter how long you’ve been riding a motorcycle, I'm pretty sure you’ll learn something new from reading this book. Of course if you’re a practicing MotoGP racer you might not, but I'd say most every motorcyclist who rides on the road will learn something from this book.Some of the things you’ll read about in this book are cornering, brake use, when to accelerate, when not to, and so much more. The techniques in this book could save you thousands of dollars in repairs from a downed motorcycle or possibly save your life one day.I highly recommend picking up this book if you want to improve your motorcycle riding skills.

Retain my ridding capabilitiesRead this along with his other booksGreat experiences to be had and safety is what you need on a bike

Noch besser als der erste Band. Wiedeholungskauf wegen Geschenk an Moppedanfänger.

Jag tycker den här boken tillsammans med bl.a. volym 1, är bra läsning inför den nya säsongen.Även om man kört något år så har den långa vintern en tendens att få en att glömma.Det är en bra referenslitteratur och förklarar många olika tekniker som är bra att öva på och kunna.Jag kör endast på gatan och är ingen rallyförare men läser man boken och övar så blir man en bättre förare oavsett om man kör på gatan eller på bana.Man märker att bokens författare (Keith Code) skrivit denna bok mer ur perspektivet att man kör på bana men den är fortfarande väl läsvärd.Se till att även köpa första volymen, dessa två tillsammans är mer heltäckande än bara denna.Det finns ett flertal andra böcker som också bör ingå i ens bibliotek att läsa inför varje säsong, bl.a.- Proficient Motorcycling av David Hough- MotoJitsu Master Riding Program volym 1 och 2 av Greg Widmar

Great book with basic to advanced theory of race and street riding.
