I figured that his book would be at least a good spot to start...any one have the link to the thread with the motorcycle books in it? I think that it was up a month or so ago? maybe a bit longer.

Re: just ordered...
Like deez, I'm not a huge Keith Code fan. I thought his book was just ok. Here's two I think are better: Sport Riding Techniques by Nick Ienatsch, and Total Control by Lee Parks. Good techniques for street and track. For street riding, Proficient Motorcycling by David Hough is excellent. I'd also be interested in checking out Reg Pridmore's new book.

I got Twist of the Wrist 1 & 2 for christmas and I'm in the middle of one right now, seems good. But I really liked Sport Riding Techniques. That book was awesome.
