Two great books

#1 Unread post by KeithB »

I found two great books for new or returning bikers. Even good for you veterans. 8)

"Proficient Motorcycling" and "More Proficient Motorcycling" by David L Hough

I wish i had, had these two books the first time around.

Okay, I'm glad I'm not the only one. The binding really does suck. Once one page comes out, they all start coming out, and it is like I can do nothing to stop it. Oh well, it still has a lot of great information.

Isn't there also a good book entitled "A Twist of the Wrist"? Or is that a video?

Keith Code, there is a whole series of them now. CD's DVD's, video's and books.

I have both books and they started falling apart within a few weeks. Great information, but the binding is shameful. I can't believe Hough still lets his name get printed on such poor workmanship. Haven't they been out for many years now? Surely they know. I'm going to 3-hole punch them and stick rings in them. The material is worth it, but what a pain.
