This is great for answering those question that no one has a clear answer for. I recommend this book for the advancing rider.

This book goes through some of the basic concepts taught in most motorcycle schools, namely vision, corner lines, lean angles breaking and even one section dedicated to crashes. In this sense it's very complete, with beautiful illustrations from MotoGP sequences. The insights from the pilots are a definitive plus (I wish there were more of them, or that the book was only about that).Overall I would say this is a very good book for beginners.Motorcycle racing skill books should be almost entirely illustrated, giving the reader a chance to look at many "unexpected" situations arising on the track. That connection between images and expert analysis offers the best live learning experience. I noticed this after recording one of my racing school sessions and reviewing it with an expert rider. There were some basic mistakes and a pletora of details we went through. Visual inspection is the best way to nail the bads and correct them. Here you still have way too much verbose text and the analysis stops at the basic guidelines, half of which you can probably already find available online. Given the book ambitious title, I was expecting a lot more details. For example, high-sides are the most dangerous crashes, everybody with some track experience knows that. The book does illustrate some typical cases where the rider lose the front wheel, but how about breaking down the process with views from different angles, explaining why and how the slide started, how to detect the front tire is starting to lose traction, what to do when you're caught into it (different options), etc. Don't expect this degree of details from the book.

This has helped me on the track. A lot of re-reading is recommended.

Excellent

Very interesting and informative book

Although the information is not revolutionary if you have read other sports riding books, the way that Andy explains this is coloured by a passion for teaching and for motorbikes.The book itself is beautifully presented, with magnificent photos (contemporary, also), interesting quotes from the big names.I am reading through it and enjoying enormously.Marvellous

A must have and an absolutely amazing, inspiring, eductational, exciting and fun read. It includes EVERYTHING you need to know about being on the track and what to do in order to ride perfectly and correct whatever it is you've been doing wrong or been unsure about. Rarely have I enjoyed a book this much and never have I been this motivated to get on my bike and back on that track! :)

Good book that goes over all the basics and adds tips and advise for the seasoned racers as well. A lot of amazing stills of the top riders as well. Definitely a book to keep handy if you are a track rider or racer.

Worth the read
