Twist of the wrist

[MrStompy]

Hello there

I have been studying the "Twist of the wrist" (vol 2) keith code book.

I was wondering what peoples opinions of it are.

The most useful things i have gotten out of it is the whole dont tense up in corners and to crack the throttle on earlier. i do find that as i continue to re read it i discover other stuff to use.

I am definately much more confindent these days - i still have a long way to go though.

Does anyone know of any websites (other than here of course) or books that they have found useful to develop riding skills.

mrstompy,
My wife Sara has bought Twist of the Wrist Vol1 & 2 for Xmas, should be an interesting read.

[Steve_TLS]

IMO Vol 2 is better than Vol 1. (And I think there's 10-15 years between them too). They're both a good read though.

[Colette]

I bought them both as well but haven't had a chance to read them yet...maybe over the break.

[sneakypete]

have Vol II, and i have read it countless times, but i always find it useful, and it helps jog the memory.
remember Colette when we were talking about weighting the outside peg?
...power steering.

now i'm off to practise what i've just remembered.

I found the weighting the outside peg bizzare when i read it first time.

I have felt it work a couple times.

I need to get it consistant though - as well as everything else.

I am going to book into superbike school sometime early next year to get some practical instruction. I always find it easier to understand stuff when its explained to me rather than i read it and make up what i reckon they meant

Thanks Nick for that link. Checking it out now

I read both Twist of the Wrist I and II - (and I have the DVD of vol I). I got a hell of a lot out of vol II and can't wait to get to ASBS to learn more.

Dave, mate, mate, could I borrow your DVD ?
PS How did Cath's bike go?

[dave#3]

Bike = ordinary, DVD = yours

[BladeBoy]

Dave, is the word POLICE at your house ATM?
I have to tell you the bike is so much better with the rear shock adjusted, a flowing ride home on the OPH, like old times, maybe just maybe I am getting it back.

I've read both Twist of the Wrist books and fell asleep during the DVD and I rate this book above the Twist series. Well worth the cash.
