 A ought to for each rider
By Marcelo A. Soto Quiroga
Well explained topics, full of graphics and photographs, this book is a perfective help for those riders wanting to get the most of their bikes. It deals with technical subjects like suspension set-up and aerodynamics, as well as humane topics like attitude, fear and fitness. Don’t get misled by the title, since the proficiencies taught there apply to each bike type, not only to hi-performance superbikes. Written in a plain understandable language and including just the right and necessitated math formulae, Mr. Parks leads the reader through the entire book without much pain even for the finish novice rider. He even adds the right amount of subtle humour also.
Great book, highly recommendable.

Amazing Book
By Alex P Pearsall
From my web site (http://www.rebelpacket.net)
I did manage to buy a book, “Total Control” by Lee Parks. This book, is (in my modest opinon), the biggest motorcycle instruction book since the begin of motorcycle instruction books. Very clear, very precise anaologies to things that every one deals with in real life, to aid one better comprehend the art that is, motorcycling. One line that I read in the book struck me as something that I necessitated to do. “If you have not practiced riding with a bit of fear, you will panic when staged with the unexpected.” For awhile, I was riding fast, but I was not in truth frighted of riding. I was not affrighted of sharp corners or this and that, because I normally took them at speeds only somewhat above average. I did not have any fear. I need to work on riding with a bit of fear, so rather of letting the fear CONTROL me in a circumstance where I need my wits, not my reactions, I may let the fear flow through me, and use the wits.
I likewise learned with regards to steering my motorcycle more efficently. The author talked regarding how most people undertake to steer with both hands around corners, and while they believe that their helping the motorcycle, in reality, their hands are actually fighting eachother sub-conciously. I know, I did not believe it either. What Lee Parks suggested doing, was relaxing the outside hand in a corner, so it is scarcely gripping the handlebar, and to push with the inside hand ONLY to steer/lean the bike over.
HOLY CRAP! He was wholly right. I’m not talking just a little bit, makes a 1/10th of a difference. I mean he was COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY on the money. I came into a 25mph turn on a road I like to test/learn my accomplishments on, and I did as he said. I relaxed my outside hand, and at the latest point in the turn, I pushed with ONLY the inside hand, and started to turn. Only problem is, that my turning was so much more efficent, that I actually turned too much, and almost ended up as a gorgeous ornamentation on the inside guard-rail. Insane! I came up to the next tight left turn, and went a rapidly and without delay than I normally would have (fear + testing out this new found turning ability), and I ZOOMED through it, without a problem. A 25mph rated turn that I normally took at 50mph, I was competent to take at 65-70mph, just based on a new turning technique. This sh*t works people. These guys know what their talking about. And while you need to practice, I may totally see how a lot of of these books are manuals on how to get into the racing world.
