Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
The thrill of motorcycle racing tugs at the heartstrings of anyone who own a Harley, Honda, Yamaha, or any other cycle. Since most individuals do not have access to a racetrack, this enthusiasm results in far too many accidents, some fatal, on public streets. Code writes for those who do have access to tracks where riding techniques can be perfected. He has many years of racing behind him, and his earlier popular handbook, A Twist of the Wrist: The Motorcycle Road Racers Handbook ( LJ 3/1/83), is the classic guide to rider improvement. Here, he employs down-to-earth questions, answers, and examples of high-performance riding. The excellent illustrations and margin notes are useful. Both beginning and advanced racers will find this an excellent book. Highly recommended for libraries with a motorcyclist clientele.

Kurzbeschreibung
This second volume uncovers and traces the direct links between man and machine. Keith's unique ability to unravel complexities and establish simple, essential principles, provide both street and race riders with real tools to think about, and understand for themselves the problems of riding. The author says: "The ten years since the publication of TWIST OF THE WRIST have been exciting ones for motorcyclists. That volume was my first attempt to create a 'technology' of riding: I knew there was one, it was simply a question of finding it. But TWIST OF THE WRIST II contains more real riding technology and addresses the source of our classic rider problems."

If this book simply teaches you to analyze and improve your riding, it will have done it's job. So maybe the writing style isn't perfect - I'd rather read a handbook by a "writing rider" than a "riding writer". I personally got more out of "Volume II" (this one) than "Volume I", but since getting both costs less than a few tanks of gas, it's worth buying the pair. I had been riding daily fo 10 years when I picked up this book, but was new to sportbikes - it changed my world, for the better. As a side note, if you're a recovering addict you'll be inspired by Mr. Code.

Ignore all those other reviews that whine (whinge in the UK) about the writing style ... who cares ... just ignore the little *'s and skip the footnotes. This book is primarily written for racers, but there's lots of worthwhile info on riding technique for street riders. For new streebikers, "Sportbiking: The Real World" is a better introduction to proper technique, but I still learned something from this book. "Real World" filled-in gaps in my basic riding style, but Twist of the Wrist II helped make me safer (avoiding "survival responses") and much faster through the corners (pivoting on the outside peg) ... yeehaa!

There is good info here on riding. But one must be prepared to dig it out from the mud. What is funny about the book is that Keith goes on to explain the meaning of words like "depend" etc. If I did not know the meaning of these words, I would never have started reading his book in the first place! Every chapter needs to be read over and over again to make sense of what the author is trying to say. If you are passionate about riding and really ready to endure any hardship inorder to improve, you can read this book.

Der Rolls-Royce unter den "eh klors"
..ist dieses "Standardwerk". Habe 4 neue Informationen aus einem daumendicken Buch - ist das genug Aussage für eine gültige Rezension?

An excellent tool for safer, higher-performance riding
Code's book is packed with information that no rider can afford not to know. I'm a better rider this morning as a result of what I read last night. Lesen Sie weiter...

A Needed Book, But Surely The Worst Writing Ever Published
This book has some definite merit; however, readers will most certainly feel that they have earned the knowledge it contains by enduring the book's oppressive style and format. Lesen Sie weiter...

Better than the first
Ok, Twist I is a must read. But Twist II is a better book. Perhaps because it is more practical in its focus. Lesen Sie weiter...
