Sport Riding Techniques: How To Develop Real World Skills for Speed, Safety, and Confidence on the Street and Track

Contemporary sport bikes accelerate faster, brake harder, and cut through corners deeper than ever before. These technologically advanced motorcycles are exhilarating to ride, but to really get the most out of a motorcycle’s performance capabilities a rider must develop his or her own personal performance. Riders need to take their skills to the next level. Now, in this book written specifically for sport riders, well-known journalist, racer, and riding school instructor Nick Ienatsch provides the tools and techniques to help riders analyze and develop that personal performance. If you’re an experienced rider, Nick will help you hone and perfect your skills, operate controls with even greater finesse, and apply race-proven techniques on the track―as well as on the street. If you’re a beginning rider, Nick will show you how to develop proper skills and safety habits that will add to your motorcycling enjoyment and build your confidence. Whatever your current riding ability, Nick will teach you to safely find the absolute limit of bike and rider.

Nick Ienatsch began racing in 1982, and in the mid nineties won two AMA National Championships, two No. 2 plates, and two No. 3 plates. Nick has been a top motorcycle journalist since 1984, and among his most popular articles was a series in Motorcyclist called “The Pace,” in which he first explained his approach to safe, fun sport riding. Now a contributing editor to Cycle World, Nick has written a new series called “RideCraft.” Nick is also the lead instructor at Freddie Spencer’s High Performance Riding School.
