Re: A Twist of the Wrist

["Dennis Tackett" <sprint99@xxxxxxxxx>]

>In effort to improve my riding skills, especially cornering, I am
considering getting my hands on "A Twist of the Wrist I and II" which are
books by Keith Code, or the single video "A Twist of the Wrist".  "A Twist
of the Wrist", as I understand is more emphasized towards racing and the
racetrack, but can significantly improve riding skills on the street.  I
have also heard of another book, "Sportbiking: The Real World" by Gary S.
Jaehne, which is suppossed to be more for street riding skills (everything
from cows in the road to rain).  I have taken the motorcycle safety course,
but that only scrapes the surface (pardon the expression) of motorcycle
physics and handling.  These books and video do not seem readily available
at motorcycle stores, or book stores so they will have to be mail ordered.
Does anyone have first hand experience with any of these books or the
video....or would it be more worthwhile to take a "racing" course?

Dave,
I highly recommend the video and books by Keith Code. He has a wonderful way
of putting technical subjects in terms easy to understand. I saw an
immediate improvement in my riding skills. Take any class you can. More is
better. Track schools are great and they allow you to concentrate on your
skills rather than the cages.
