The Police
Rider's Handbook, most of our on-road training is based on the contents of this manual.
Incidentally, it now has a redesigned cover, and is the 'police rider's
handbook to better motorcycling', although content appears unchanged. |
| The Highway
Code |
Recently
revised. A 'must' for all riders. |
Twist of the
Wrist;
Twist of the Wrist 2;
The Soft Science of Motorcycle Racing |
All by Keith
Code. Full of well thought-out techniques, although can need careful interpretation for
road riding. One of our instructors commented of 'Twist of the Wrist': "I wish this
book had been available when I was racing." There's also 'Twist' video,
CD & DVD available. |
Motorcycling

improvement on the earlier version. |
| Pass your
Motorcycle Test |
By
the late John
Robinson, originally published in 1982, but often updated and still available in the
shops. |
DSA
motorcycle riding
the essential skills |
New
for 2001, replaces the 'Motorcycling Manual'; despite slightly misleading
blurb on the back cover, it's not too bad. A good investment for a
newcomer to riding. |
DSA
theory test
for motorcyclists |
Another
from the 'official' range; more than just a Highway Code test book, it
also has elements of good roadcraft. Worthwhile for instructors at
all levels. |

The old,
old pre-1996 version, in a blue cover, worth having to compare with the
newer, glossy edition. Some
diagrams much clearer than the new edition!
