Motorcycle 201

This review is from: Motorcycle 201 (Kindle Edition)

A fun and easy read, this book is full of information for the new rider as well as those that have been riding for a while. If you’ve never ridden and want to know what motorcycling is all about, this is a good place to start. And if you are a seasoned rider, there is still good information to be found here.

Dave Preston gives sage advice about shopping for a motorcycle and accessories, always with an eye towards safety. He then goes into planning for a ride (check out your bike, figure out what you need to take with your for the trip you are contemplating), and getting yourself mentally ready. My favorite takeaway is “When the helmet drops, the bulls**t stops.” In other words, tune out the distractions and concentrate on riding.

Motorcycle 201 continues on subjects such as giving a friend their first ride, commuting by motorcycle, and taking a longer trip. Throughout, you will find enjoyable anecdotes from Preston’s 40+ years of riding. At $4.95, everyone should have this book on their Kindle!
