Foggy on Bikes by Carl Fogarty
As a follow-up to his autobiography, Carl draws on 18 years of international motorcycle riding to give readers a comprehensive guide to bikes, and how to ride them. He begins by describing how he started out in bike racing by going to race schools. Advice is given on how to get started in the sport before Carl explores all the key techniques which the novice rider will need in his or her repertoire. He goes on to talk about preparation for race riding, how you gear yourself physically through fitness, diet and teamwork for the demands of each race. Mental strength is just as important - how to block out danger, the different approach required for qualifying and racing, and how to treat the opposition. Carl reveals the key elements in his make-up that made him world champion and what you can learn from his approach. Then we take to the track, as Carl explores the essential components of competitive racing, with advice from Ducati's top technicians. A comprehensive guide to motorcycle riding by one of the world's most successful riders
