Title: Winter reading...
Post by: Munch on October 14, 2008, 01:43:16 PM
Saw these sitting at my local Ducati shop:

Sport Riding Techniques:

and Sportbike Suspension Tuning:

Anyone have any firsthand experience with either?

I own the first one and don't recall it being as good as "Total Control" but it was still pretty informative.

I have the first one and it made a world of difference in my riding. I also have Total Control by Lee Parks and did not find it as informative. Maybe it's just me  [coffee]  But the book I think they should give away with every bike is Twist of the Wrist part 2 by Sensei Keith Code. Amazing. Works on Fear and Survival responses.
