A recent thread has prompted me to post this up.
We have riders of all ages and all skill levels here and some are very new to the art of riding a motorcycle on the road safely.
I personally recommend the following books for any rider:
"Proficient Motorcycling" (USA) by David Hough
"The Bikers Bible" (NZ) by Graham Allardice
"A Twist of the Wrist 1" (USA) by Kieth Code (Superbike School)
"A Twist of The Wrist 2" (USA) by Kieth Code
There are undoubtedly many others but these are excellent books, the first two will show you everything you need to know about learning to ride and what sort of bike might suit you and why, through to some more advanced riding techniques and a little on racing. (Graham Allardice is an ex racer).
These two books also discuss maintenance and many other things like tyres etc, they are excelent all round helpful books.
The Keith Code "Twist of the Wrist books" (he has another one as well which I forget at the minute) are more advanced and explain racing techniques and road riding techniques and discuss the theory behind many things to do with motorcycle riding from a more scientific perspective.
Keith Code's second Twist book has been and still is of particular help to myself when I discovered it a few years ago.
If you enjoy reading or don't get some good stuff and read it you never know we might just learn something new............I know I did and still do.
cheers,
