"Must" reading for anyone wanting to race sportbikes July 2, 2010
TonyRichards52
Keith Code is "The Man!" No doubt. If you can afford his California Superbike School, do it!!! But in the meantime, this book details more of why you crash and why you settle for bad riding habits. It has great commentary from Keith as he re-lives his successes and failures while becoming a racing great (and for some of us, it has pictures, hahaha)! If you are interested in racing sportbikes, get this, as well as, Twist of the Wrist II (which is more for street riding and canyon carving).
 A Twist Of The Wrist, best book you can buy if you ride. January 28, 2010
Ron Walsh (West Palm Beach, Fl)
I recall buying this book back when it came out back in 1984. I was doing some road racing then, and found the book very beneficial. Now, some twenty odd years later I am picking up a bike again, and thought I should refresh my memory of what the book is about. It will not teach you how to ride, but will give good pointers to make you a better rider, not just a better racer. If you are intimidated that the book will be just for racers, don't be. Anyone who rides can benefit from this.
 Not as bad as the second book in the series January 24, 2010

Back when this book came out I thought it was great. Since then there have been many writers who have SKILL WRITING as well as riding/racing which makes this book not worth it. Don't waste your money on this book, buy a Moto-skills book by Nick Ienatsch, Lee Parks, David Hough, or even the MSF Guide to Motorcycle Excellence over this book any day. Only if you have all the others would I advise getting this one. Even then, it's only as a curiosity or to laugh at how bad it is written.
Code is an excellent rider and former racer, and his class is pretty decent. His teaching style and knowledge are well-grounded (if a little bit tainted by Scientology Voodoo). But this book is starting to really show its age, and Code made his career racing and later teaching hands-on. As a writer he is "not so good."

I have read, in forum discussions, that this book is helpful for improved riding technique whether track or street. I saw no street application at all. And I don't think there was any profound information about riding on a track. This is a text book ment to be used when taking a beginner's racing course.
