    any suggestions for a good riding book?

    i read twist of the wrist by keith code eons ago, but then the world; myself was a different place and me person.

    los angeles is hell to ride in traffic, maybe the same at yourtown USA, or country,some days i notice if i'm not at least 95% and drift, i'm asking for it...

    can anyone recommend a good all-around survivalist urban combat type book to round out my riding skills, i guess i could just start judging by their covers, but then i probably would own marginal stuff at the end of my motorcyle reading journey/collecting...

    i may go with a safety course like jwsanders and et al.

    any comments appreciated!

    Take the California motorcycle safety course!!!
    It is a NEEDED class for all of us. I've been on bikes for years, and will be taking the class once again this summer.

          Proficient Motorcycling...

          and More Proficient Motorcycling by David L. Hough are two books I keep around for daily review to keep my mind on the game.

                Sorry, I've never read anything by Pridmore so I couldn't give an opinion.

                EZ, you are right, Guide to Motorcycling Excellence is another good one.
