A must read for all riders Overall, a fantastic work complete with examples, lessons, and practice descriptions. This is not the definitive book of motorcycle riding, but certainly WELL WORTH the time and money to read. I also purchased A Twist Of The Wrist II as a supplement to this book, also strongly recommended.

Amazing learning tool As a seasoned rider I thought I knew a lot about handling a motorcycle. After reading this book I have a renewed confidence in riding a sport bike as well as a touring bike, I have learned new techniques for handling any motorcycle, and a better understanding of the physics of the relationship of cyclist, bike, and environment. This is a must read for anyone who is serious about riding safely and with increased confidence and skills for handling a powerful machine.
