Book Reviews!

Since it's winter and my bike is sleeping safely in the garage, I've ordered a handful of books from Chapters and will post reviews once I've had a chance to read them.

ITEM(S) SHIPPED:1. Smooth Riding: The Pridmore Way - 1 @ $xx.xx Performance Riding Techniques: The Motogp Manual Of Track Riding Skills - 1 @ $xx.xx. Motorcycle Track Day Handbook - 1 @ $xx.xx

Currently, my moto-library contains the following... I'll give each a quick rating, but won't go into detail becasue some of these I read years ago:

Twist of the Wrist - Volumes 1 & 2 by Keith Code - Probably the most popular riding books, but not the best. Most of the content is basic but repeated over and over. If you are new or sort of new to riding (quickly) these will be helpful. If you've been around the block already, you might be bored (3/5 rating on the Marcus scale).

Sport Riding Techniques by Nick Ienatsch - Great book, lots of useful info for all levels of riders mainly covers street, but lots of applicable info for track riding too. This is available at the Ottawa Public Library if you are local (5/5 rating on the Marcus scale).

Techniques of Motorcycle Road Racing by Kenny Roberts - I think this is out of print, it's more of a biography interspersed with riding tips from King Kenny. Not too much useful riding content, but an interesting read none the less (4/5 rating on the Marcus scale).
