Effective descriptions and tips, easy read *by M***E on July 27, 2015* As a rider with under 40,000 miles ever ridden, I am still developing my technical skills. There are so many situations we encounter that can be challenging - I want to be in complete control in all of them. I bought this book to improve my cornering skills in tight-radius turns. Specifically, I occasionally go wide on 10-20 mile per hour, right-hand corners. The author has great insight and helpful suggestions based on his significant real world experience. He has found that many riders hold on too tight, causing hands to fight each other. He suggested using only one hand (the hand on the inside of a turn) to pull/push. I started consciously relaxing that left hand when in a sharp turn to the right. It works wonders! It is close to being a habit after a 2-week trip. I also started picking my lines through corners based on the author's descriptions. This has helped by providing a better line of sight, thus increasing my confidence and control. I highly recommend this book for novice and intermediate riders. Expert riders could also benefit as a refresher and may even pick up some new golden nuggets, like I did. We can always improve. ## Frequently Bought Together - Total Control: High Performance Street Riding Techniques, 2nd Edition - Proficient Motorcycling: The Ultimate Guide to Riding Well, Updated & Expanded 2nd Edition (CompanionHouse Books) The Must-Have Manual: Confront Fears, Sharpen Handling Skills, & Learn to Ride Safely - A Twist of the Wrist Vol. 2: The Basics of High-Performance Motorcycle Riding --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/10963734-total-control-high-performance-street-riding-techniques-2nd-edition](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/10963734-total-control-high-performance-street-riding-techniques-2nd-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
