Read, digest and leave your mates behind.,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Twist of the Wrist: Basics of High-performance Motor Cycle Riding - Volume 2: Basics of High-performance Motor Cycle Riding Vol 2 (Paperback)
I have been riding for 21 years, done numerous Police run courses and have always considered my motorcycling abilities to be pretty good. Nothing could have prepared me for the revalations that this book holds. It is, without doubt, the most informative source of information on motorcycling that I have ever found. It will teach you how to get the best from your machine, in all situations. You will ride faster, safer and smoother than ever before. Ever stuggled a little to keep up with the group? Not any more. Read this book and you will be the one at the front and it will be you that's waiting for the back markers. There are things in this book that I never even knew about, let alone how to perform. Shortly after reading it, I went on a road skills day. After riding around the circuit a couple of times, under the watchful eye of a qualified instructor, he told me there was nothihng he could teach me and to go off and enjoy the day. Blasting around Cadwell Park with the knowledge I'd learnt from this book was absolute heaven. The rest of my class spent the day learning the basics of counter steering and weight distribution while I just played at being a track god! If you haven't read this book, then you must. I don't believe anyone could read it and not learn from it.

Great tips - basic language,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Twist of the Wrist: Basics of High-performance Motor Cycle Riding - Volume 2: Basics of High-performance Motor Cycle Riding Vol 2 (Paperback)
I chose this book on previous reader reviews. I have nearly finished reading the book now and the advice that Kieth Code gives and the methods he tries to impose upon you are excellent. When you are reading the book you think to yourself 'Of course, how simple' and trying out his techniques has definately improved my riding, and my riding keeps on improving every time I apply his principles. There is however a big min point with this book. The language is so basic and simple that I felt at times almost offended by its simplicity. It is almost like childs English. With all of the definitions of the words with a * by them I found it very irritating. I felt like I was back in my earlier years at high school. It is a shame because it has blighted the book as far as I am concerned. However, everyone can learn from what Kieth Code has to say, just don't expect to be treated like an intellect! Therefore just the 4 stars instead of 5.

You don't have to be a racer to appreciate this book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Twist of the Wrist: Basics of High-performance Motor Cycle Riding - Volume 2: Basics of High-performance Motor Cycle Riding Vol 2 (Paperback)
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 Code's 'mental toolkit' approach means that most of it is still very useful to non-racers. I didn't 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 bike's worst enemy.
