I bought that book a year or so ago and we passed it around to the guys in my area. It is a fantastic read with great tips on control (duh!) and technique. I have been riding pretty much since there was dirt on the ground, and i learned a lot from it.
If you practice the techniques, and beware!! Do them slowly as you will be amazed at how much faster you can corner. In fact there are warnings about this beacuse a lot of folks crash by going to far too quick. Yes sirre Bob, learn to turn on a dime, then go faster.
