I recently spent a good amount of time digging up a whole bunch of links to different articles for a post over on another forum full of newbs... Hopfully it wasn't time wasted. Anyway, I figured i'd post it over here as well since i've seen/found/read quite a few good articles I thought a wide range of people could benefit from in the community.
I'll try & put them in some kind of sensible order from entry level to advanced to trackday to racer, but most of these articles apply to what we all do on the street in some way or another so check em all out. Some of the information may be contradictory, but take your time, read as much or as little as you like, try out different things & see what works for you.
Of course, feel free to add links of your own... hopfully this will become a sticky & the number of links will continue to grow.
Disclaimer: Not everything below works for me, nor do I agree w/ everything these people say, but two wheels is two wheels and there's no doubt that we can all learn more about our sport. It never ceases to amaze me how much there is to learn about motorcycling and that's just one reason why I'm in love w/ the sport as much as I am.
Enjoy.
