Total Control delivers what other high-performance riding books can only promise: Practicing the exercises outlined in these pages will significantly improve your ability to control any motorcycle. Based on the proven techniques of national champion Lee Parks' critically acclaimed Advanced Riding Clinics, this book is the fastest and safest way to master your machine.

Written in a clear and understandable style, Parks demystifies the techniques used by top racers and demonstrates how to apply them to high-performance street riding, no matter what kind of bike you ride. For the first time, Parks explains the mental dynamics of fear, one of the single biggest elements hindering the learning of new riding skills.

By breaking down riding skills into small, easily learned modules in a building-block format, Total Control is one of the most effective riding tools ever developed.

Total Control is the must-have book for sport, touring, and cruiser riders who want to take their riding to the next level in the shortest amount of time without taking unnecessary risks.
