Book Review: Riding fast...simple!
Summary: 5 Stars

After reading Keiths' first book "A Twist of the Wrist" in 1984 it totally changed my life. I was at the time a struggling 'C' grade racer and really enjoyed my riding, but after crashing 13 times in my first 18 months of racing, my enthusiasm was beginning to wane. I wonder why! After reading that book, riding finally started to make sense to me. It seemed that Keith had read every thought in my mind and then written them down to present my errors to the world and use me as a personal example so he could show how to fix the problems. Of course I was imagining this...or was I?

I have since learned that almost every rider has the same basic questions and the same basic problems. In fact it is amazing how similar riders problems are, regardless of skill level or experience. So what was bugging me also bugged a lot of other riders too. To cut a long story short...after applying Keith's information religously and drilling it for the next year, I went back to racing and won in excess of 100 races in my career, including at Australian Championship level. I set 9 lap records in two classes, won three state championships and had only 7 crashes (including 2 mechanical failures, and two other riders hitting me) over the next 16 years. Some contrast hey!

When "A Twist of the Wrist II" came out, I bought it with high expectations and Keith delivered over and above those expectations once again. The text is clear and concise. It covers real world issues that every motorcycle rider faces. It presents the simplicity of riding a motorcycle well instead of shrouding it in the mystery of complex explainations. I wondered what benefit I could gain as a rider (after all...what's the point if it just makes you sound smarter...it's got to work on the bike too) and once again the information transferred into faster and safer riding.

There are not many 'sure things' in this world. For me, Keith Codes' books are one of those sure things. Read them. Ride using the information contained in them. And watch your riding improve!
