Great read for riders who are planning some track days.. (2008-08-29)  Although it has been years since I read this book,And I have moved to cruisers, yet this book still holds great tipsHighly recommend to anybody before hitting the track.
If I could only buy one riding book.... (2006-07-17)  This is a great book. It's clear and concise. As a bonus it probably contains the best photograhy I've ever seen in an instruction book of any kind.Perhaps if you've raced a few years or spent a few hundred hours on the track you might find this book a little thin. Of course you would probably find most instructional books a bit thin.For the rest of us this book is the best of it's class in my opinion. If you can do everything this book so clearly describes then you ARE a good rider. Fast. Safe. Smooth.
Real World Skills (2004-07-16) Great book. Lots of big glossy pictures of current sport bikes. I consider it a resource book. I keep re-reading it and applying the lessons in the canyons. Especially liked sections on braking and throttle control. Looking forward to California SpeedWay in few weeks!
Good book for beginners. (2004-05-30) I bought this book based on a review in a sportbike magazine. When I got the book in the mail, I was really impressed with the layout and overall quality of the book. Nice, glossy pages with large pictures of modern sportbikes and easy to read text and captions. However, once I started reading it I noticed that the tips and techniques, while valuable, are really aimed at newer, less experience riders. Subjects are not discussed in the detail I was hoping for and issues like basic suspension set-up or advice on performance modification were not covered at all. I guess I was hoping for a "Twist of the Wrist 2" meets "Total Control..." meets "Sportbike Performance Handbook" type of book. Not even close. Still, I believe this is a very high quality piece of literature that can be enjoyed by both entry level and experienced riders alike.
A Must read for New and Experienced Riders (2004-05-22) I am a new rider and my skills improved dramatically with each chapter. This book is an easy and quick read. In fact, its totally engaging. Nick shares his years of experience and demonstrates that safety and speed are not mutually exclusive. By taking his advice to heart, one can learn to feel the relationship that must exist between the rider, the machine and the pavement. Once understood and practiced, you'll be carving up the road as quickly and safely as possible. What a thrill! Experienced riders will appreciate that each chapter ends with a "Lesson's from the Racetrack" section. So the tips and/or refresers make this book a must read for any rider, in my humble opinion. If nothing else, its worth the price for the incredible photos. Enjoy and I'll see you on the coast. :-)
