Books on Riding?

I've read and tried to absorb/implement the ideas in 'Twist of the Wrist 2' and 'Sport Riding Techniques' and some of the ideas have made a definite improvement to my riding.

I know that there's only so much that can be said about riding bikes on the road and having training/track sessions would probably have more benefit, but are there any more books of this type that are recommended that can offer a different slant and don't just cover the same ground?

I'm thinking road rather than race riding.

Cheers.

I've not read the two you've mentioned, but can recommend this.

If you want a flavour of bike ownership rather than technique (makes a bit of a change) then the GoodMotorcycles site has articles from the defunct Used Motorcycle Guide (UMG).

Other than that, as said above, read Motorcycle Roadcraft and try to sign up for some training, like a local Bikesafe or see if you can get a taster session with your local IAM Motorcycle group.
