MIND over MOTORCYCLE

Writer and long-time motorcycle instructor Kevin Williams uses his science background to look at what goes on inside our brain when we ride a motorcycle. The part of the brain we share with mammals is 200 million years old and other parts are older still - and designed for survival, not riding! This fascinating book explains how the parts of our brain juggle tasks back and forth, explains why things sometimes go wrong and discusses how simple techniques can improve our riding. 300 pages.

Riding with the Devil

A look back on how a 19 year old came to ride a motorcycle. From buying a bike and passing the test in the mid 70s, to learning to deal with London traffic as a courier, to holidays, crashes, moped endurance racing and rants along the way! "I read 'Riding With the Devil' over Christmas. Great read! There are some great despatching anecdotes, some rather eccentric holidays (eg the one where he and his girlfriend spent about a week straining metal shards out of the bike's oil before eventually towing it home; and the Bol D'Or one), plus - perhaps the best - the 'Moped Mayhem' race season." Simon Carswell
