What other books out there?
So I know of the Twist of the Wrist books by Code I'm going to go pick up in a few minutes, is there any other decent reading material I should pick up while I'm gone?
My riding form/position blows. |

i'm more of a visual learner. i don't know that i could absorb that much from a book. i'd do better with a DVD. i need to see an example in action, then try it myself.

Great book for the new rider or experienced rider who may have "forgotten" a few things over the years.

I picked up TOTW a few weeks ago. Even though it was written in '83, everything still applies. It's kinda better to have a track day or two under your belt, so you can apply/imagine some of the things he's talking about, but you'll still learn a ton from it.

heh i picked up totw yesterday and in the 7 minutes worth of browsing in the checkout line i learned a ton of crap (which i applied succesfully today) there was another on suspension setup that i wanted to grab...
also snagged this month's issue of my fav bike rag: fast bikes. featuring the delicious miss emma twigg and a free keychain (last month's goodie was a kickstand puck!)
