 Must Read! April 7, 2008
I thought I was a pretty good rider, 29 years of experience riding all kinds of bikes - but had never taken an advanced rider class. While reading this book, I quickly realized how many mistakes I had been making. E.g., over the years I had figured out most of the steps involved with making a turn as described in the book, but I did not have ALL the steps figured out - there were some CRUCIAL pieces I was missing.
My riding has improved dramatically since reading this book, and my enjoyment of riding is back to where it was when I first started riding!
I wish I had read this book when I first started riding and every year since. I wish someone had recommended that I read it. I am making sure that all my riding buddies read it if they haven't already. Don't be proud, get this book.
 If we rode like Keith writes, we'd all be dead March 24, 2008

Terribly written book. Has many ideas and concepts I've tried and haven't found viable for me. HOWEVER, two chapters in the book are very worthwhile: 1)The 7 deadly Survial Reactions and 2) the chapter on visual directional control--the "Two-Step." These alone make it worth the price of the book. There are many books that teach motorcycle riding techniques far better, that you can actually understand because they aren't written by someone who must have spent his high school career flunking English. Glad it's cheap.
Another racing book March 20, 2008
It is difficult not to like this book, Keith Code knows motorcycling. But if you are looking for street riding, there is little here to help you. Throttle control and bike balance was very good, so any understanding about motorcycles is important. I will always honor Keith Code since he was my first teacher with his first twist of the wrist. Thanks
Good but........... March 3, 2008
Not bad reading at all. Keith does a wonderful job of keeping the chapters to a reasonable number of pages. I would suggest Lee Parks, Total Control to be a better, more useful read.
A PLOT THAT TWIST AND TURNS March 2, 2008
Following my first time at a track day - I was frustrated. I didn't have fun and I didn't know why. I was slower than most, despite my 169hp of Honda. I was close to giving up - thinking riding just wasn't my thing. Soon after
TofW2 arrived and I started to read. I went out on my bike and was immediately better. I went around bends, quicker, safer and got bitten by the bug. Two books and 3OOOk's later I'm loving my riding, learning more and am rereading this amazingly helpful book. Simply, anyone with a sports bike should read this book, but only if you want to get better.
