Twist of the Wrist 1

Hi all, anyone have the Twist of the Wrist 1 book? I have Twist 2, and Soft
Science but really just want to glace over Twist 1 since the info is just so
damn brilliant in #2 and Soft Science but I hear #1 isnt as amazing.....
hoping I could just borrow it over a weekend if thats possible? Happy to
send you the Twist 2 or Soft Science books if youd like and pay postage (or
I'll pick it up if localish)

P.s. Superbike School is amazing, riding for 15 years and I may as well
have erased all those years with what they've taught me in just two days in
schools 1 & 2. Seriously worth it !!

Not really worth the effort - TOTW 1 is just a less cogent version of
TOTW 2

JL
(and yeah SBK School is damn good stuff)

 

It's aimed at the track racer whereas TOTW2 is more road rider oriented.

Just wish the bastards'd come up north sometime...

 

Met a couple of guys on the last one I did in November, they were from QLD,
hired a trailer and bought both bikes down and did the two days in a row
courses... Levels 2 & 3.... good move, accommodation is right beside
Eastern Creek too...

The TOTW 2 was very much about the track riding, I cant imagine a more
track orientated book, he did reference road riding a couple of times but
not much...

Oriented.

 

Does it matter what part of the world it's aimed at?

"Frequently Asked Questions

Grammar

Which is the correct spelling: 'oriented' or 'orientated'?

It really doesn't matter: it's a matter of personal taste. Orientated
is currently preferred use in general British use. Oriented is
prevalent in technical use, and in the US."

 

ffs.....you are both banned from aus.motorcycles

 

You say occident, I say accident ...[1]

And in Australia? Collins notes that careful users will use 'orient'. The
old Websters' doesn't care, my copy of the Oxford dictionary doesn't list
'orientated' at all and Google asks me if I meant 'oriented' when I search
for 'orientated' in connection with a dictionary...

Anyone got a Macquarie?...

(Yes, I'm on hols and have nothing better to do...)

 

My Macquarie has "orientated" but not "oriented".

 

who cares

 

My Macquarie which lives somewhere in my computer says
oriented

1. inclined (in a specified way): politically oriented.

2. directed (in a specified way): customer oriented; oriented towards the
common reader.

orientate

/'oreeuhntayt, 'awree-/ verb, orientated, orientating.verb (t)

1. to place so as to face the east, especially to build (a church) with the
chief altar to the east and the chief entrance to the west.

2. to place in any definite position with reference to the points of the
compass or other points: to orientate a building north and south.3. to
adjust with relation to, or bring into due relation to, surroundings,
circumstances, facts, etc.: to orientate one's ideas to new conditions.4.
Surveying to turn a map or plane table sheet so that the north direction on
the map is parallel to the north direction on the ground.

verb (i)

5. to turn towards the east or in specified direction.



So if you want to direct someone you use oriented. If you wan to direct them
to the East then use orientate.

I'm pretty sure I know where my copy of TOTW1 is, lemme know if you want
to organise to borrow it...

Thanks Iain,
I found the library service of Campbelltown, NSW had it so I've borrowed
it, at first glace it looks great, covers a lot of the stuff in TOTW2 but I
still think I could read each of his books every week for a year and still
not take it all in... then again I'm pretty thick
