Book binding is falling apart August 15, 2010
AzOz (TURKEY)
I have actually checked "YES" for the review comments of Christopher Lim (Substance without flash) which in my opinion is the best comment that describes Ienatsch's book. After reading this book and applying what I have learnt from it to real life, I have realized that I was doing somethings in a wrong way that I thought I understood correctly from Code's book (okay, english is not my native language but my english is not bad). Code's book widened my horizon and gave a lot of valueable information. Ienatsch's book filed in the gaps and made it clearer.

I have only one disappointment about the book but it is not content related. It is about the book itself. I am very careful about my books, I never fold back the pages that I already read to hold the book in one hand, or never try to open them fully or flatten the midsection or so. But this book has just fallen apart after the first reading. Now there is nothing that holds the first 30-35 pages, they are simply separated from the book. I guess the binding quality is not very high. Handle carefully!

Sport Ridning Techniques March 27, 2010
S. Scott (New Zealand)
Good book for everyone who rides a bike. There are no secret, earth shattering revelations, (maybe none exist) but it does contain "all" the tips and skills for advanced riding and should be a part of everyones library. I highly recommend this book.

Brilliant read February 18, 2010
Edward Harty (Australia)
I was a big fan of the magazine "Sport Rider" while Nick was editor there. I think he has continued an excellent approach/attitude to motorcycling in writing this book. I believe it caters for the full gamut of riders, very experienced to novice. I would rate it right up there with the "Twist of the Wrist" books, it may be of even more value to some people. He manages to get across the information in easy to understand explanations & excellent colour pictures. If you were just to buy one book about motorcycle riding technique then this should be the one.

A MUST READ FOR ALL STREET RIDER January 30, 2010
Dave Bloomfield (Bronx,NY USA)
Nick Ienatsch makes it easy for anyone to read Sport Riding Techniques.The riding techniques and side stories he discribes are easy to Imagine,and even easer to practice due to the bounty of crystal clear photos available in this book(manual).

Good, not great. December 29, 2009
John C. Barron (Shreveport, LA)
I can appreciate Nick's lifelong experience, but as an self-described intermediate rider looking to go that extra step, I found this book MILDLY disappointing. Mostly just common sense. There were a few solid tips and guidelines but nothing revolutionary. Maybe my expectations were a bit misguided. "Get as much seat time as possible." "Work on gently using the brakes and throttle." It just seemed geared more toward a rank beginner. Discussions on traction and lean angle were informative but not enlightening. For less than 20 bucks, it's a worthwhile read. That same amount of time spent riding and improving would be just as helpful.
