2nd Motorcycle Book Completed! It’s a great read!<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Keith Code is one of the foremost motorcycle educators for the past three decades. He operators his legendary motorcycle school; California Superbike School <\/a><\/em><\/strong>throughout United States and I have a dream of attending this school in the future. For now though, Keith Code’s book “A Twist of the Wrist Volume 2”<\/em><\/strong> is my gateway drug to high-performance motorcycle riding. Summarizing the book is to think of motorcycling in a varied of aspects. Keith writes about throttle control, vision, cornering, braking, and ends with a quick chapter on racing. Not street racing but racing in a controlled environment like a track. This is where I desire to be in a few years, racing my motorcycle around a track. Again, another dream but I feel to fully evolve into the best motorcyclist I can be, I must try the track at least once in my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each chapter within A Twist of the Wrist<\/strong><\/em> builds upon the previous. Concepts and exercises are written in a way that didn’t really go over my head. I did re-read a few ideas related to throttle control and vision just to fully grasp the point while reading and taking notes. What is so fun about reading a wonderful motorcycle book like Keith’s is that you get to take the knowledge you learn and apply it directly to your riding experience. A few hours of practicing turning points, I began to feel much more confident in taking corners quicker, smoother, and safer. This I tribute to a great teacher like Keith. I will be honest, that by the end of the book, I had experience brain overload LOL. If there is one short coming of the book, is the graphics. The graphics in the book are a bit dated, but if you can get past the cosmetic shortcomings, the ideas Keith teaches you are very paramount to successfully operating a motorcycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the things I was a bit unsure about before reading A Twist of the Wrist<\/strong><\/em>, was if the racing techniques Keith teaches would help me, a street rider. After the introduction, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the racing techniques apply brilliantly to the street. Of course high speed turns are not something I am comfortable with doing on public roads, but the understanding of how to approach a turn, identify turning points, lean the bike over, and complete a turn smoothly with effective throttle control are very important. One of my favorite sections within the book is $10 attention<\/em><\/strong>. Within this idea of $10 attention<\/em><\/strong>, Keith writes how you start with $10 of attention while riding, and distractions either physical of mental, begin to deduct from your $10. You don’t want to go bankrupted while riding, so it’s important to stay focused on the road, what is happening in front of you, and keeping your bank full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really enjoyed the chapter on Vision. I didn’t really understand how important “seeing” <\/strong><\/em>your environment physically, and subconsciously, was while riding. I tend to have the habit of looking at everything while riding. This is not effective or safe while riding. Allowing my mind to “see”<\/em><\/strong> and my eyes to stay focus on the road ahead is a wonderful method Keith teaches about. Oddly enough, putting Keith’s vision technique to test the last few of my rides, I soon became more relaxed, and focused. Mental fatigue was greatly reduced and I enjoyed my ride even more. It really comes down to trusting yourself on your bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Twist of the Wrist Volume 2<\/em><\/strong> is wonderful! I highly recommended it to all riders. There is something so satisfying with seating down to read a motorcycle book and learning new techniques to help you grow as a motorcyclist. Get your copy today and maybe one day, I will see you at California Superbike School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
