***** Proficient Motorcycling: The Ultimate Guide to Riding Well by David L. Hough

A must read – describes most everything you need to know about riding on the street.

**** More Proficient Motorcycling : Mastering the Ride by Daivd L. Hough

Definitely worth reading – but not quite as good as the original.

**** Total Control: High-Performance Street Riding Techniques by Lee Parks

Definitely worth reading – has a very good description of the physics of motorcycles, and how the suspension works.

** Soft Science of Road Racing Motorcycles
by Keith Code

Didn’t have much that I could relate to – it is very much focused on track racing, how to lower your lap times, etc. As a normal street biker, there wasn’t much that I could relate to in my daily riding.
