Teaches Total Control
At this point, I have read the first 3 chapters. This book is very well written by a person with years of experience on the track, on the road, & as an instructor. This reading has already caused me to rethink my suspension adjustments & my steering habits. I hope to get as much value out of the next chapters as I have received from the chapters that I have read. I am not a new rider. I am a rider that wants to ride & enjoy the ride better. I plan to finish this book & take the intermediate riders course next month.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Great, detailed book on riding. Would recommend to any motorcyclist
Plenty of pictures, good examples, and a great book to have. Just buy it, the information might save your life one day, if not it will make you a better rider. You'd be surprised how little you actually know even if you're an experienced rider.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

A Real Confidence Builder
This book has A LOT of information that is broken down into specific chapters and is very easily digestible. When I read a chapter on braking, line selection, or body position I can immediately go out on the road and practice a specific skill. I have been riding since the early 80s and am finally learning the physics of why some things work and others don't and the reasons behind them. My very first ride after I read the braking chapter I was able to emergency brake from 35 mph to zero in less than 35 feet; A LOT less! I've shared some of my newfound knowledge with other seasoned riders who were amazed at how much we did not know. This book is very well written and will definitely keep your attention.
