Read a good book lately?
On motorcycles, that is? If so, share your resources. Whether it's just a good read, a biography/autobio, how-to, or (probably most preferable) of an instructional bent, post it here!
1. Smooth Riding The Pridmore Way - The name gives it away, I think.
2. Motorcycle Dynamics - Shows pretty much everything technical about motorcycles

right now I'm reading "She's a Bad Motorcycle: Writers on Riding" by Geno Zanetti
collection of short stories by writers who ride in their off time...some are pretty entertaining and a good read.
motorcycle related book before that was "Under and Alone" by William Queen....true auto-biography about an ATF agent's undercover jaunt into an outlaw MC

Read it awhile ago but "One Good Run-The Legend of Burt Munro" is the book that they made the movie "The Worlds Fastest Indian" from. Good stuff... Also if you don't already have a subscription to Cycle World magazine and enjoy Peter Egans "Leanings" as much as I do many have been compiled into two books-"Leanings" and "Leanings 2."

1+ on the 101 sportbike projects - what a great resource, I use it a lot, and the total control book.
I still like the twist of the wrist books by keith code and the "proficient motorcycling" books that MCN editor put out - even with 30 years riding I still learn a lot of useful info in them regarding risk awareness and street riding.
