Product Description This all-new and expanded second edition of The Motorcycle Safety Foundations Guide to Motorcycling Excellence is the most authoritative book ever published on safe riding techniques and strategies for current and prospective motorcyclists who want to do it right. In a clear, engaging style with detailed diagrams and extensive full-color photographs and illustrations, the book covers rider attitude, protective riding gear, pre-ride inspection, maintenance, and troubleshooting, as well as basic and advanced street skills. Tips on how to create a "space cushion" to avoid traffic hazards; stop quickly; countersteer for better control; manage traction; position your body for smoother, more consistent riding; travel skillfully and safely in a group; maneuver effectively and efficiently in off-highway riding; and much more, are included. The new edition also features advice from legendary racers Kevin Schwantz, Nick Ienatsch, Freddie Spencer, Rich Oliver, and Reg Pridmore, as well as contributions from Erik Buell on motorcycle geometry, Keith Code on countersteering, and Paul Thede on suspension adjustment, among other experts. Founded in 1973, the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) is recognized internationally for its rider-training curriculum, which has been used worldwide by thousands of trainers in teaching more than three million motorcyclists the skills necessary to stay safe and have fun on the road. This book is the essence of what the MSF has learned about teaching students of all ages and experience levels. It is the definitive reference for the sporta perfect refresher for anyone who has ever taken an MSF course, and an eye-opener for those who havent. As the MSF likes to remind us, "The More You Know, The Better It Gets!" This new edition of Motorcycling Excellence provides the opportunity for every motorcyclist to discover for him or herself the thrills and joys of "riding right" by getting the best from self and machine.

Informative, helpful August 30, 2009 S. Goodson (AR) Great book, good price, a must for new riders, great review material for returning riders or to brush up on skills and safety.
Great Information, Great Deal. July 8, 2009 S. Hall (N.C.) This book was a help in making me feel more comfortable on my bike. I haven't been on a motorcycle for 11 years and it reminded me of lots of important facts. Thanks
Not so interesting July 8, 2009 M. Jacobs If you are brand new rider and have never ridden any type of motorcycle before or have no concept of the basics in motorcycle operation then this book is for you, otherwise only a few sections are worth the money-
MSF Motorcycle safety guide June 21, 2009 Rick E. Mcguire Every two years I take the MSF classes and promote motoorcycle safety all the time. Great new book for the BRC rider. Some day I'd like to be a ride coach too. A Shadow rider.
