 Proficient Motorcycling: The Ultimate Guide to Riding Well July 17, 2008
"The service was excellent. Everything came as promised and in the condition promised. Wonderful job!"
 Back in the Saddle July 15, 2008
After 30 years, the bug hit me and I bought a new crusier. Checked many sites for the best books out there, this one came highly recommended. It is a good book to refresh the basics and give you some simple exercises you can do to get the feel of the bike back. I will give it to my son to read too. I haven't taken the riding class yet, may, but not sure. One thing I learned from riding, better safe than sorry, speed will kill and the car wins every time. Ride safe and live long.
Lots of Tips, Just a little Grim July 1, 2008
The book provides a lot of tips and useful information, a lot of it common sense and lot of it new knowledge, especially for a new rider. The only thing that holds it back from being a 5 star is the continuous lecturing on the dangers of motorcycling. The books starts off with the dangers with numbers and in almost every section, almost every paragraph it seems to continue the rant on the dangers. Its to the point that you just almost want to stop reading it because of the danger of a paper cut when you turn the page. But, in the end more knowledge about riding is better and this is a book that ties together information with stats, and reinforces good riding techniques.
Good Overview Book June 25, 2008
I highly recommend this book to all beginners and experienced riders. No the book is not going to teach you how to ride a bike or everything you need to know. But it may give you that 1 tip that saves your life. The author does assume you have some basic knowledge. So if you don't know what a fork is or where the shifter lever is on a bike the MSF book would be a better place to start. I am a complete newbie to bikes right now and I couldn't imagine going to the streets without all the knowledge I gained from this book.
Highly recommended!
Best motorcycle how-to-ride-safe improvement book! June 20, 2008
If you ride a motorcycle on the street, and you would like to know how to avoid accidents and control the motorcycle better in turns and braking, poor driving conditions like rain or gravel, how to lean, etc, this is the best book for you! Easy to understand with great pictures and even a cd!
