xtremef4i Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I'm re reading Total Control: High Performance Street Riding Techniques. I have had the book for several years but decided to read it again and compare how I ride now with more years of riding under my belt to how the "right" ways to ride. Its refreshing everything I already knew but didnt realize I knew. It covers riding in a more technical way that makes you understand why the bike acts like it does, etc....

It must be a common MGT related book. I almost thought about reading it myself, just for more knowledge even though I have no plans on getting my MBA anytime soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 It'll give you a different perspective on managing things, including your personal life. There's a lot of business rules (goal setting, attitude, etc) that apply to your life that make it run a lot smoother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtremef4i Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Also: Twist of the Wrist 2 and Sport Riding TechniquesAre'nt these two pretty similar to Total Control? I asked for Sprot dising techniques for Xmas a while ago but got Total Control instead. I always thought about getting a different riding book but figured they were all pretty much the same. Keith Code sure knows his stuff in Twist of the wrist though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 At least in the Winter months, I'll read more books in a month than most people do in a year (or for some, their entire life). I like high tech stories, both fiction and non-fiction. Currently impressed by:Science-Fiction first:Impressed by Robert Charles Wilson; his book Spin, and the follow on Axis. Probably two of a three part trilogy. Read Spin first. Also his book Blind Lake, a very unusual story, with some surprising twists.Impressed by John Scalzi , supposedly the next Robert Heinlein; Three part trilogy, they don't have to be read in any particular order.Old Man's War (2005)Ghost Brigades (2006)The Last Colony (2007)Non-Fiction:Marines in the Garden of Eden: The True Story of Seven Bloody Days in Iraq (Paperback) - Richard S. Lowry This is one of the most real combat books I've ever read. It is the battle of An Nasiriyah, in Iraq. It begins with the Army convoy ambushed, where Private Jessica Lynch was captured. This book pulls no punches, it's all the gritty terrible bloody confusing noisy action that dominates a battlefield. Many troops died, and the truth is, all should have died, but they won anyway. It's a tribute to the American combat method and independence of action; to win a conflict dominated by ambush, murphy's law, and excessive fog of war. A very real account of what combat is actually like.Note: Jagr, read this book, if you haven't already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robhawk Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 IF you like Sci-Fi pick up the Enders series by Orson Scott Card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I've read some Enders, but I need to read them all. I've gotten to where I'll reserve all of an author's books from the library, and just read them all. That's what happens when you can't remember which ones you've already read.

Kip Drordy Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 +1 to Ender's Game. It's one of my favorite books of all time.Good to Great was an OK read; I too had to read it for a class.If you're looking for a non-instructional motorcycle read try Japan's Motorcycle Wars by Jeffrey Alexander. I just picked it up and it looks interesting. I know it's used at a few universities as text books; business school probably.http://www.amazon.com/Japans-Motorcycle-Wars-Industry-History/dp/0824833287/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1229125176&sr=8-1http://thevintagent.blogspot.com/2008/09/book-review-japans-motorcycle-wars.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harb67 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 If you like sci-fi, pick up Tad Williams' "Otherland" series. Absolutely amazing books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
