 Great beginners book! June 13, 2008
This is an excellent beginners guide to motorcycling. It covers almost all the bases, and is written in an easy to read and concise manner with lots of helpful illustrations and pictures. Furthermore, the 2nd edition is fairly current... other books have pictures taken in the 60's or 70's, not this one. The book is coated with high quality laminate pages which makes it a very heavy duty book.
I highly recommend it for any future/beginner motorcyclist! In fact, it is a must have for new riders period!!!
 Buy this book (and READ IT) before you take the MSF Class April 2, 2008

This book is excellent, and covers all you need to know as a first time motorcyclist. The one thing I cannot stress enough: Read it before you take the class (and be sure to take the MSF class, it will save your life!) The first section of the book is identical to the class in many ways, and, although I read through all of it again, it really is exactly the same. If you read this ahead of time, it will have you ready for the written test in the classroom, so that the class itself becomes review, and you can focus more on the hands-on part of the course while you are there, instead of trying to remember all of the new info in your head.
 Ok if you've never touched a bike, worthless if you've taken the MSF course already. January 7, 2008

This book is essentially the expanded version of the booklet they give you at the MSF Basic Rider's Course. As such, I found nothing useful in it. It would be a great book to read before you take the class, though. I was looking for strategies on braking and cornering in various conditions, but what I got was just a listing of road conditions, not what to do about them. It mentions the different types of skids, but not how to recover from them. I guess they want us to have to take their Advanced class...
Excellent for Novice December 23, 2007

This book is excellent for the novice and I am sure it is a nice refresher for all. A newbie would be foolish not to take the course and reading the book in advance of the course is extremely helpful.
Intelligently written and concise December 1, 2007
In contrast with some popular motorcycle riding books, this is well-written without gimmicks. If you learn what's in this book, you stand a far better chance of surviving on the streets and driving well for fun.
