Title: Some new reading material...
Post by: Daniely on April 24, 2005, 06:41:00 PM
Well, I figured im gonna have a month or so until I can ride again. SOOOO I went to borders today and picked up Keith Codes, twist of the wrist volumes one and two. They look like fairly quick reads, but hopefully I will take alot away from them. Ill let everyone know hwo they are after I finish em :). Gimmie about 2 weeks.

Sweet!  Hairball recommended them to me several months ago but never got around to picking them up. Let me know what you think of them!

TOTW II  Is aimed at racing but the concepts and details can be transferred to the street easily.  (except the whole cornering at high speed because your on the side of the tire which is a smaller diameter thus requiring a good gear ratio to not exceed the rpm limits of the bike before you exit the turn.) :cheers:

Never read the first one.  I'm curious how it compares to the second.
