Yep! Got the roadracers book and the video. I used to take the book out, give it a read and then set to work on a pretty mean set of twisties. It certainly got me quicker and safer when cornering. I thank that book for me getting me knee down cos I don't move my arse that much (either on or off the bike)  :mfr_lol:

Still got them in me garage - I think.

The importance of how to handle a corner and knowing the size of your bike...  :oops:

I've read Twist of the Wrist II and I enjoyed it.

However, Motogymkhana will teach you far more than a track day, RoSPA, IAM and reading a book will ever do.

And if you think the GTR is too big.....  The end clips are me on my GTR.

Oh, I should say that Motogymkhana breaks all the rules you have ever learn't while riding a bike!
