I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for books to read during the off season. I really would like to learn more about suspension and racing/track riding techniques. Does anyone have any reccomendations for books that helped them in the past?

Sport Riding Techniques: How To Develop Real World Skills for Speed, Safety, and Confidence on the Street and Track
is a good starter

Those books that Ron donated for Tuesday's all looked good.  I wish I won one of those.
Keith Code's books are very often referred to in my circles (Twist of the Wrist 1&2)

Peter, if you are not faster than me, yet, I am going to recommend that you lay off the motorcycle skills reading material. (I'd like to stretch out my #1 spot for another week or two)


I don't think I have seen anyone pick up skills, speed, and technique as fast reno240sx.

Thanks Justin. I still can't thank you enough for helping me out that first day. I've heard good things about Twist of the Wrist, it is definately on my list.

Thanks Dale. I saw Dandelion's pictures from last weekend. It looks like she is going to be giving us a run for our money soon!

I have some of those books you speak of. You can borrow anyone you'd like. I'll have them on Sunday at the SSA meeting on the 26th.

Thanks Jerome. I am scheduled to work until three on the 26th, but hopefully I can get out early and be at the meeting around 2.
