I had a request for a book on riding techniques and thought this might be a topic more people would be interested in.  When I got my first bike these are two books my Dad a very experienced rider gave my to get my feet wet.  Great reads that I would recommend even for the more experienced rider.  The first book, Sport Riding Techniques by Nick Ienatsch, Would be the one I recommend for newer riders.  Smooth Riding The Pridmore Way is a little more advanced.  If you have any more recommended reads, post them here.

82 with fairing, rejetted, 83 turbo seca fork and brakes coming whenver I acquire the rest of the parts, and she stops breaking long enough to be in the garage for an upgrade instead of a repair.

Two more excellent books are Proficient Motorcycling and More Proficient Motorcycling by David L. Hough.  Proficient Motorcycling is really more strategies for dealing with situations which may happen on the roads.  I've read it several times and highly recommend it.  I have not yet read More Proficient Motorcycling so I can't make any comment other than I've heard it is excellent as well.

If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.

Twist of the wrist I and II are both full of good tips and techniques.  In my experience, there is no one
style or technique that works best for everyone or every situation, but the more ideas you are exposed
to and the more techniques you try to master, the better the chances are that you will have an answer for whatever situations and conditions you encounter.
