Default Which Ride Like a Pro worth getting?

Wife asked what I want for my birthday and I am interested in these DVDs. Is it worth it to get the whole four piece combo with the book and the Dragon video? I'm really most interested in the low speed maneuvering skills type stuff. Seems like the combo is the best bang for the buck, just don't know if its all necessary.

I also recommend buying "Surving the Mean Streets" I or II.

Yeah, I'd go with the 4-piece combo pack.

I have been sick all week and home from work. I just watched ride like a pro V again yesterday for something to do. Very good DVD and he even says in the beginning it encompasses all from other 4. They are also short clips on youtube.

I believe he's asking if he should get the Ride Like a Pro dvd, the book, Surviving the Mean Streets, and Ride Like a Pro on the Dragon, combo. RLAP V has all the info from RLAP 1 THRU 4 We now have a new RLAP that includes all the info from the first 5 RLAP's plus more. But the Mean Streets, and Dragon dvd are different.
