What sportbike riding books would you recommend reading? Specifically if you have read both which did you prefer between Total Control and Twist of the Wrist 2?

my copy is worn, dog eared and well used, its a good read and has alot of good sport techniques (read not racing, but more canyon carving)

^^^There is probably sticky stuff between the pages as well. I'd pass on borrowing it personally.

I have Twist of the Wrist, but it really didn't teach me anything. If you want to learn, go do a Pridmore school or something along those lines. You can read a math book, but until you do the problems you are never going to learn the ropes.

Good read. I've read my copy a few times. I've also read Reg Pridmore's book, it was pretty good with SportBike Riding Techniques being a little better.

Never read Total Control. I have Twist of the Wrist 2 which I bought and read while I was saving up to buy my first bike, tought me a lot then but I was completely new to motorcycles at the time.

I don't get much from reading a book so I can be of no help on this subject.
