New Zealand - For those learning to ride, there's a version of the New Zealand Road code specifically aimed at would-be motorcyclists. There's another you should also buy; it is written, coincidentally, by a chap named Code, Keith Code, and it could well save your life for it offers advice on the art of safe cornering on two wheels.
Since buying a bike at age 15, I had been riding on accumulated experience alone, until I happened upon the biker's bible, entitled Twist of the Wrist II. It addresses the cornering forces of a motorcycle, and explains how not to break the laws of physics when you're on board. You should consider it a mandatory purchase when buying a motorcycle.
