Book Description
The wind in your face, the feel of the open road, the sounds of nature. Motorcycling has long been a passion enjoyed, by a select few. In the minds of many, it was associated with danger, either from motorcycling itself or from some of the people the sport tended to attract. That has all changed over the last decade as baby boomers find themselves with time, money, and the desire to enjoy what they couldn't when they were young. With 8.8 million motorcycles on the road today, (a 34% increase since 1998), you are not alone on the road! Whether you are getting back into riding, or are new to cycling, there is much to learn! Shirley Kennedy, (librarian by day but motorcyclist enthusiast and expert whenever possible), demystifies the hobby. Kennedy commutes to work daily on her 2005 Yamaha V-Star, and imparts her knowledge to you, in a very Savvy way. She covers choosing a motorcycle, rules-of-the road, training, maintenance, etiquette and more. Kennedy! wants to enjoy the open road, and wants you to enjoy it with her. Her experience is driven home in this book, designed to help you make good decisions and safely enjoy your time on two wheels. Topics addressed include: Buying a Motorcycle • Equipment Needs • Riding Tips & Training Maintenance • Selecting Equipment • Riding Etiquette • Cycling Clubs & Tours

Great motorcycle book for beginners November 8, 2007
This book is well written and easy to read. It contains great information for the beginner motorcyclist and will be entertaining to read for more experienced riders who may want a refresher course as well. The book contains a helpful glossary and an exhaustive bibliography that will satisfy anyone's craving for more information.

In this "Savvy" guide the author has written a book which will increase the enjoyment, understanding and appreciation of motorcycling for anybody who reads it. She manages to convey her love of the sport and impart a large amount of valuable information using a writing style that is both easy to understand and pleasant to read. As befits a librarian, the book is full of references which will allow those who desire to study a particular subject in depth to do so easily. The book has an extensive bibliography in addition to the many links found within each chapter. This is a great read for not only the new rider, but the returning rider and the experienced rider as well. I highly recommend it.

Savy Guide to Motorcycles, is a very smartly writen and well composed book that any beginner and expert rider can relate to and gain knowledge from.The book is a nice compilation of Shirls' experience as well as her fellow riders. I especially liked the points of references that encourage you to do your own research. I have read many motorcycle books and a few were rather dry, but I found this book to be very refreshing. Good job.

The Savvy Guide to Motorcycles is a well-written narrative by an author that has real-life experience riding motorcycles. Shirley Kennedy relates much of her material to her own experiences, giving this book a personal touch as well as believability.
The book is broken into logical sections and well illustrated. The author includes a number of sidebars with data that supports her text. There is a useful glossary and an impressive bibliography included to enhance the reader's understanding of the subject. The layout is clean and well structured.
As a motorcyclist with several years experience I appreciated the way the book advances each theme. Ms. Kennedy avoids boring the experienced rider while structuring her material so a new motorcyclist can understand it easily.
I highly recommend "The Savvy Guide to Motorcycles" to anyone that rides (or wishes to ride) motorcycles!
