During a PM conversation with another member, a question had come to my mind.
How many riders here have read a riding technique type of book or found captivating literature about advanced riding techniques?
I'm talking about books like "Total Control" by Lee Parks, for example.
I liked that book so much so that I've read it cover to cover numerous times. There is sage advice contained in those pages, both for rider and passenger alike. I always highly recommend "Total Control" to anyone looking to actually learn something about the art of handling a motorcycle.
Currently, I'm on my second book "Smooth Riding: The Pridmore Way" by Reg Pridmore.
I can't say I particularly care for the way that book is written and there are alot of things I disagree with, but in contrast, there is also very good advice and considerations contained in those pages as well. I know after reading that book I will certainly be trying new things this year...even the things I don't necessarily agree with. My thoughts are "Why not? Afterall, I'm not the author of any book."
I'd really like to continue finding more literature to read and I'm interested in what other riders have found as a good read on their path to acheiving certain riding skills.
It doesn't necessarily have to be race-oriented or even advanced rider techniques...I want to welcome all types of writing you might recommend to someone, be it n00b or seasoned racer.
