Just got my copy a minute ago, and I am so stoked! I ordered it through Amazon on 10/24 for next day delivery, and it just arrived (good thing they refunded my freight). Has anyone read this book? Unfortunately with all the rain, I won't be able to practice much.[&o]

 

I started it but its not as good as Nick Ienatsch's book
worth a read I guess, kinda funny how he uses Larry Pegram several times for "how not to ride" demonstrations, he's gotta be pissed lol

 

He says in the intro how he hacks on Pegram's technique, but that Pregram can outride him any day of the week.

 

i read through that before i got my bike, it is a good read

 

It's a good book, but kinda boring. I guess it would be more fun if you have someone to practice the drills with. He does, however claim to teach you to drag a knee in one afternoon (if you can't already).

 

Dragging a knee should not be a goal, but the result of other things. I learned that from reflection after my 1st Trackday. CR wanted to get my knee down. Turns out we were both improperly motivated.

 

I don't want to drag a knee yet, but I'm tired of getting my *** kicked by ALL my friends. I am new, and they have been riding forever, and they always wait for me, and I HATE IT! I just want to get better, and have some tools that I can work with to get better. The first part is a little dry (suspension), and a little technical for me, but I am trudging through it. It helps to have a cigar lit while I am reading the book, though.[sm=pimp.gif]

 

Didn't know you were so new. Reading your past posts you seemed very knowledgeable and experienced.

 

Well, thank you...I think? I get obsessed and eat, sleep, and breathe those things I find interesting. I am taking in all the information I can fit into my pea sized brain, and what does not come from on the road experience, comes from the knowledgable folks on this forum, friends, and the books I am reading. Plus, I am a salesman, so I get paid to sound like I know what I am talking about.
