If you ride a motorcycle, you should read this book every Spring. David Hough knows how to save your life and your skin, and how to keep the shiny side up, and puts it together in a very appealing style, with useful photos and illustrations. Keep riding. Stay out of the ER. Read this book and then pass it along to your riding buddy.
Excellent, Must Read for New Rides! April 6, 2008
I bought this book the day after I purchased my first motorcycle. I made a promise to myself, and my mother, that I would take every step to being as careful as possible, so I decided I would read this book and take the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (www.msf-usa.org) Rider Course before I began to ride. I am very thankfull that I bought and read this book completely before I took my first ride. There are to many points made in this book to point out, but I'll put it this way; two minutes into my first ride I found myself mentally and physically practicing the fundamentals discussed in the book. Needless to say, the challenge of riding a motorcyle is more than any other vehicle, but knowing some of the things I learned from this book began paying off immediatley. There are so many things taught in this book that novices like myself are not aware of when it comes to riding, especially in an urban environment. And like most of the other reviews state, do yourself a favor and read this book whether your a begginer or experienced rider. Excellent manual on riding safe, which ultimatley leads to enjoying the ride! Thanks for writing this book Mr. Hough.

Proficient Motorcycling March 29, 2008
This is an excellent book. I have practiced the recommended exercises on my motorcycle. They are very good and have improved my slow speed control and my cornering.
Best book on Street riding March 20, 2008
Lots of information on Street riding, covers many topics. Some topics are very basic. But he is a good teacher and explains all of his concepts well.
If I had one book this would be it. A motorcycle classic.
