Well i say DO NOT buy this or any book from amazon. The courier company (UPS) send it normaly to Athens airport and promptly send it back claiming there was no receiver. They sure know how to save money on fuel i think. Me and my house did not disapear all the sudden and all other parcel services still seem to find me. Was i not home on a midweek morning? Sure not. I was working. Did they leave a note that i have a package? Sure not. Did Amazon reply to my complaint mail? Nope. As a matter of fact they do not seem aware that they did never send me that book neither with what happened to my money. If you dare to order prefer send by normal post and not Courier. The Postman allways will find you. As for me, well i learned to oblige in a normal bookstore the hard way. To Amazon? I give the finger. ..I.
Fantastic Resource and a Fun Read! August 23, 2008

This book is a must for any rider. No matter how much one thinks they know, this book will make you better, safer and increase your enjoyment of riding on street. The details included make this worth ten times it's cost. It's very well written with many photos and illustrations. The author put a lot of effort in on this and the result is first class.
Ienatsch 's Sport Riding Techniques August 18, 2008

Excellent book. Very well organized with down to earth advise that easily translates from track to street riding techniques. That's perhaps one of the greatest strength's of this book: the reliance on great technique to make riding on the street safer and more fun. The chapter on braking alone is worth the entire book; but, hey, you get lots more between the covers. The writing is clear; the illustrations on point and the photographs first notch. A must for every rider's library.
 Beginner's bible for the newbie motorcycle rider. August 14, 2008

This is a newbie book. Do not expect any intermediate or advanced tips. With that being said it does reinforce what I have preached but morons have contradicted. Use the rear break, stupid! No listen to me becuase I am faster then I have brains and crash all the time so I must be fast. I am stupid and you grab a fist full of brake and endo like a total loser like I did. Don't ride with idiots in the canyons. Pushing the limits in the canyons does not make you faster it makes you crash. Guys that crash every four months are not fast, only ignorant. This should be in the driver test handbook for all the lemmings following the morons knee draging off the cliffs to the morgue "every" weekend. Get lessons (from pro's not morons) and take it to the track.

I have read "Total Control" by Lee Parks "Motorcycling Excellence" by the MSF and the new second edition of "Proficient Motorcycling" by David Hough. All of these books were very good, and each touches on points that others don't hit, so I am glad to have read them all. Nevertheless, if I could give just one book to my son to read and learn from it would be "Sport Riding Techniques. I think that Nick Ienatsch does a superior job in breaking the key components of riding down to their related actions, whether it concern braking, steering, or riding through traffic.
