When we went for a ride the other weekend it was apparent that some of the newer riders really struggled with cornering when things got tight. So that got me thinking and I went found a link to the book A Twist of the Wrist by Keith Cody. This book is a great read, it is written by a champion racer and is aimed at proformance riding but don't let that deter you as the physicis of a motorcycle are the same regardless the style of bike and the lessons apply equally to social road riding. I read this when I moved from dirt bikes to road and found it improved my dirt riding as well. As there is a lot to take in I found it best to read a chapter or two and absorb it and even go back and reread chapters once you read later chapters. files.meetup.com/1510087/A%20Twist%20of%20the%20Wrist%20II.pdfAzza

Azza thanks for posting this up. I found this book somewhere when I first started riding, and it was a great help but I only read the first chapter, then forgot about it. Think it might be time to go back and look at it again. Oh and if you have an ereader that takes adobe you can put it on there too .. easier to read in bed that way
