This is just what I was looking for. I bought a Buell recently after a multi-decade stretch of not owning a bike and wanted a refresher course focused on performance and safety. I especially liked the analysis of suspension dynamics and I now know exactly what all the adjustments or for and how to approach making any changes that might be needed. There is also a very good explanation of traction and where you get it and where you don't. Reading this book was time well spent.

This book is a bible about motorcycle riding! Dec 02, 2009
I loved riding techniques described in this book.
I recommend reading a chapter or two and then take the motorcycle and test the lessons on the road or track.
These lessons will make you a more efficient and safe pilot, especially those that are not intuitive and must be learned through reading.
It's a good book choice.

Well presented and thorough. Nov 05, 2009
Lee's book is excellent for anyone either just beginning to ride a bike or with years of experience who wants to improve their skills and style or just understand more about how it all works.
It is very clearly written with just enough humor to keep it light and interesting; it takes you step by step through all the areas you need to know about in a progressive and logical manner, each chapter building from the last.
Each section also contains real world exercises that you can practice and perform on an ongoing basis to improve and maintain your skills.
I recommend this book to ANYONE who has, or is thinking of getting a motorcycle.

I have over 40 years of motorcycle riding experience. As a teenager I rode the rural roads and city streets of California. As a young man I moved to Alaska riding city streets and rural roads.
Total Control by Lee Parks explains many aspects of riding techniques from the motorcycle to the road.
Total Control has helped me understand my riding technique and what I am doing right. It also helps me understand week points of my riding technique and how to correct it.
If you want real knowledge about riding your performance bike........get the book.
