I have checked this book out from the library twice. I have been reading it for the past couple of weeks. I have found it very useful, eventhough I don't have a bike that will go more than 55, I have learned a lot. I like the section on cornering and the one on fear. The book also has an interesting section on aerodynamics.

There is a name that brings back memories.
I remember reading Motorcyclist magazine in the very early 90's and Nick always had a lot of useful information to impart.

Have you read Hough's books yet? Learning street survival skills are imperative at your point in your riding career. Learning how to ride quickly comes after learning how to ride safely.
