In the mid nineties Nick won two AMA National Championships and had a few second and third places finishes in the championships. He was a lead instructor at Freddie Spencer's High Performance Riding School. In the eighties and nineties Nick was a popular motorcycle journalist. One of his most popular article was "The Pace" in which he explained his thoughts on riding safely when sport riding.
The next book I will be rereading is "Smooth Riding The Pridmore Way" by Reggie Pridmore. Reggie Pridmore won three AMA Superbike Championships back in the seventies. His motorcycle school, CLASS, has been (was?) a popular training course for street riders and other riders.
There are other books I will be scanning this winter/early spring. I find rereading these books helps me focus on practicing proper techniques in the early spring which will hopefully carry through the rest of the riding season.
Nick is now is part owner and a lead instructor of Yamaha Champions School. I've done multiple CLASS and Code Superbike Schools. YCS had the biggest effect on my riding...by far. They now have an online version that is basically everything they teach during the classroom portions of their schools. The online course offers a lot of rewards for minimal investment.
Make sure you are reading "The Pace 2.0". There is a huge change vs the original.
