Default Learning Material.

I'm looking for general material that will help me whilst riding, books dvd's ect. Have a copy of

A road, track and open road and great rides 2, but is there anything anyone knows of that deals more with techinical things, ie; counter steering ect.

I'm aware thats theres no substitute for getting out there and clocking up the mileage.

Rob.

P.S don't read about countersteering just go do it. After you try it a few times it becomes natural to do it actively.

Or do you actually want to know of the physics involved?

I don't really want the physics, I do try it, but i'm trying to concentrate on so many things i end up cocking something up. Generaly feel i'm getting better, just don't think it will do any harm reading/watching to gain a little more confidence.

get on the track, off roading helps road riding a lot as well. theres no better way than trying.
A good training school in off roading will teach you a lot in one day.
