The book by Kenny Roberts is outstanding. I forget the title. He explains what he did on the track and WHY he did it. A lot of it translates to the street too.

A lot of this just comes down to practice, saddle time. If you want to go fast you'll figure it out with time IMHO.

To a point. There's a reason there are so many schools, and most are rated highly as to how much is learned. Most are track oriented, but a lot translates to street riding. Things like smooth downshifting using brake/throttle/clutch, panic stops, traction limits, etc... helped me a lot. Easier to learn while an instructor is watching/evaluating/filming/leading, than reading a book or watching a dvd. A lot more fun too.

Before your criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you do criticize them, you're a mile away and have their shoes.
