While we're doing book reviews, one that didn't do as much for me: Ride Hard, Ride Smart by Pat Hahn.  While he starts out with some pretty insightful analysis of the Hurt report, the balance of the book starts to wander quite a bit, and his writing style -- LOTS of rhetorical questions, sometimes a couple a paragraph, just got to me after a while and made it harder to pick out the useful bits here and there.

I have read Total Control, Smooth Riding: The Pridmore Way, A Twist of the Wrist I & II, and Ride Hard Ride Smart.  I felt that of all these books Ride Hard Ride Smart was the best.  True there is a lot of garbage in the book but man there is a lot of insightful stuff in there too.  Smooth Riding is good as well. The rest of the books weren't really worth my time.  If you are an experienced rider looking to improve on your street riding techniques read Smooth Riding and Ride Hard Ride Smart.  If you are a beginner the other books should suffice.

Riding with Rilke, just got it.  About a guy and his trip cross country on a monster, he started with a bmw then bought one on the way.  REally kewl.

A very interesting book with some Monster content, but no help on how to be a better rider in there.  I have a copy of that book.

What about Twist of the Wrist II as DVD?

Is it faithful to the book? Any Better or Worse?

Happy Xmas!!!

For Christmas my wife got me
- Total Control
- Twist of the Wrist I
- Twist of the Wrist II

Should I even read Twist of the Wrist I? It sounds like everyone just loves II.
