Lee Parks does an exceptional job of describing the sometimes complex factors in motorcycle handling in a way that anyone can comprehend.
Total Control is broken down into chapters on various subjects: Physics, Traction, Braking, Slow Speed Handling, Riding with a passenger, etc. Each section has a few well explained drills that can be set up in a parking lot and used to improve particular skills. Excellent color photographs and diagrams complement the well written text.
