Book Review: The Bible... The End....!
Summary: 5 Stars
I first read this book whilst learning to take my motorcycle test many years ago, as I wanted to learn how to ride a motorbike properly from the onset. I've since gone on to read, re-read and use this book and the subsequent DVD as a continual reference on how things work, and what a rider should do, as opposed to what his instincts might tell him to do.
It's fair to say that without this book I'd not have been able to progress to the level of rider that I've been able to become, I'd not have been switched on to my ability to make the bike stable and carve such beautiful lines as I've been fortunate enough to become.
The book though can be very hard work at times, the descriptions are sometimes very complex and tricky to understand, but with reviewing and re-reviewing, and working at it, it really does help make the complex understandable.
I think the book could probably do with a re-vamp, with the hand sketch drawings updating to pictures and real examples of the techincal aspects that are discussed, but it's still an neccesary purchase for any serious road/trackday rider and club racer to my mind.
This book, backed up by the drills and learning you can glean from the schools (i've been lucky enough to attend) can enable even a half decent rider to become a very, very competent one. Much respect to Keith and his studying to be able to make the art of riding a motorbike such an acheievable skill for mere mortals!
When is 3 out....? :-)
