This book is the next best thing...if you haven't had the opportunity to experience the MSF Class! And even if you have taken the MSF class...this book is a must read! Excellent!

Having recently returned to motorcycling after many years, this book was a perfect review of safety and proper riding techniques. Very easy to read and understand. Excellent!

Being a beginning motorcyclist, I wanted some sage advice on what to look out for from someone who knew. That's exactly what you get from David Hough in "Proficient Motorcycling". This is a great addition (but not substitution) for the MSF Safety Course. The book is plain English and easily read. Great book for either new people to motorcycling or even those with a little experience who want to learn more about how and why a motorcycle does what it does.
Well written and practical March 14, 2001

I have been riding off and on for about 19 years. Decided to to get a new Superbike soon and felt a little reading before taking another MSF course could be a real bonus. This book is filled with practical advice that can really help on the road. The writing is much better than Keith Code's TWOT II and it does not continually insult the readers intelligence with definitions to common words*. (Not saying Keith Code wrote a bad book, Not at all.) Just that alot of the information in this book was easier to understand and the author has given the reader a little vocabulary credit. Codes' books do provide tons of information, it's just that this book was written much better. It is more street oriented than Codes' book as well. Much of the book was basic review but even in review there were some tips and ideas that should prove handy. Well written and recommended, I would especially recommend this book and an MSF class to a novice rider. To top it all off the binding has a quality feel to it as well.

David Hough does for the road rider what Keith Code does for the track rider. Hough takes everyday riding situations and analyzes them from all perspectives. He does not get bogged down in silly definitions or other diversions. He is straight forward and thorough.I have been riding for more than 20 years. Many of the things that Hough discusses were things that I learned the hard way. This book is filled with good common sense suggestions. This is by far the best book for any street rider - even better than the MSF book.
