Good road/track motorcycle tutorial videos...

[koolio]

Anyone have any idea of some good videos or books to improve ones motorcycling skills both on the road and track, I'm pretty timid on a motorcycle and definitely a beginner although I've been riding for a while.

I'm not looking for extreme advanced track racing stuff although that may help.

P.S. Also no Keith Code "Twist of the wrist", I don't want to support a Scientologist or the cult of Scientology or someone who thinks heroine is better than prozac.

I don't think it matters as to what Keith Code's religious beliefs are, nor what is opinions on drugs are. What matters is that his DVD is pretty good and it does explain in easy to understand terms what happens when you make particular control inputs on a motorcycle.

It also explains the survival reactions and why they are bad, and which techniques to use to improve your riding. It's a bit 'noddy' but I really like it, and it's the closest thing to doing the California Superbike school without actually having to pay the money.

All in French, but illustrates some key bits about cornering and also quite funny.

Good job I speak French..

What makes a real religion a 'real religion'?
Just seems that of the many nasty cults out there, this one is particularly bad.

Got any examples of this 'tech' and why it doesn't help the teaching?

I didn't entirely like all the methods etc, but they seemed 'American' rather than anything else.

What if the only surgeon in the world who could save your 3 year old daughter was a scientologist, who wasn't preaching to you, simply offering (selling) his skills and knowledge to acheive a task, which in this scenario is your daughter surviving.

Let's say I'm a Neo Nazi. I'm selling the best exhaust systems that give you 30BHP extra, the best MotoGP sound experience, light weight and only cost 100 quid? I'm probably going to use the money to fund skinhead rallies, but is that really your concern?

Do you avoid using anything made in sweatshops, and only where there is no slave labour in any of the production chain? Do you only eat fair trade chocolate?

If the best happens to be a little skewed in their views, (and not even in a way that affects you) does it change their skill level? If a serial killer who raped and murdered 30 kids came up with a cure for cancer, would we be morally wrong to use it, based on his behaviour outside of the specific thing we want to use?

Anyway, for road use, the updated police riders handbook, or DSA advanced rider one I found to be very useful. It's not as dayglow as you'd expect.

Surely nicking his videos is more damaging to him than ignoring them?

TOTW2 is good, can't say I noticed any pseudo-religious nonsense last time I watched it but I'll be looking out for it next time.

+1 to police riders handbook, although the system does seem a bit convoluted at times.

[James83]

I watched TOTW2 about 3 months after I got my first big bike. My riding improved dramatically overnight. Your call.

Ayrton Senna was a devout catholic, and I'm an atheist. Does that mean I would have said no to some driving lessons from him? No way!

Ah, my apologies; I thought it was one of his characteristic 'last to pull' overtaking manoeuvres.
