i figured i'd get the DVD instead.

i just ordered "A Twist of the Wrist" DVD.

For what it's worth, I'm about 1/4 of the way through A Twist of the Wrist and it has yet to teach me one thing I didn't already learn about street riding.

Right now, you need street survival skills. Hough's Proficient Motorcycling and More Proficient Motorcycling are the books you need to read and be able to quote chapter and verse. In my opinion. At least read and understand them before cracking into Code's stuff.

Ape hangers make me cry inside.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Wow Im jealous! That looked like alot of fun. More fun than my ride to work and back every day I bet.

Dont let the other riders intimidate you, give them plenty of space and dont ride with anyone whos not willing to accept that you have limits.

I think that part two of a twist of the wrist is probably the best one for people that already got the basics down. I learned alot about body positioning and throttle control in the corners. I am still trying to learn how read the corners to find the best line, I guess I just need some track time. Well anyways I guess what I am trying to say is if you didn't get much out of part one I would definitely try part two.
