 A great read that could keep you off the pavement.
Recommended by a friend this book contains both basic tips and methods to keep safe while riding. The book explains the science behind riding techniques. I was able to apply lessons on my first ride after reading.
New riders and experienced riders will benifit from this guide.

 Great
Great reading for an old motorcyclist who did not keep up with the times. Things are different from 25 years ago and the messages were simple to get and practice. The goal of a safer and smarter rider was laid out in a very straightforward manner and appears attainable. I am a more confident and safer rider now that adds to my enjoyment to my Sunday rides on my fav Honda 650Cx.

Good Book
I got this bike to expand my knowledge of motorcycling. I've been riding for 6 months, now, and have taken 2 closed-course skills classes (MSF Basic and Experienced course), but now winter is approaching and I'm likely to ride less but wanted to do something to keep the skills and mindset fresh.
This book fits the bill quite well. The book targets the social rider or commuter, and describes the skill set and mindset that someone commuting to work, touring, etc. will need, and touches on various riding situations that you'll need to know how to address -- curves, animals, bad weather, wind, etc.
I think it's a great all-around motorcycle book and will give me something to digest this winter before hopping back on next Spring.

Very Nice Book......Half Of It Not Relevant To India
This is a good must read book for every motorcyclist newbie or seasoned, who loves to ride and would like to live to tell the tales. It has given me fabulous insights to handling the bike, leaning through corners and very good tips to ride safe. However, in India, where most of you westerners would have small heart attacks just riding around in cars, the tips and lessons on road and traffic is all but irrelevant. Here sharing the same lane with someone is the accepted thing. Still a good book and a must read for all

Lives up to the promise ( suburbanblues2 )
This book, which is referenced and applauded by every other motorcycle instruction resource, lives up to all expectations. For the beginner it should be considered their two-wheel bible. More experienced riders can benefit by gaining insights before riding off into unfamiliar environments: the urban rider crossing a high mountain pass for the first time or what the farmer can expect passing through the desert. Anyone considering a trek across country should make reading this book part of their preparations. Think safety! Keep the Ride Alive!
