New riders essentials! October 13, 2008 R. Maison (California) An absolute MUST for new riders, and a highly recommended read for all riders that have not had the chance to take the MSF course. Teaches you things that you just dont learn riding around and practicing on your own. Many lessons on slow speed maneuvering and in town riding were most accidents and problems arise.
The title says it all September 29, 2008 J. Eder (Bartlesville, OK USA) The Motorcycle Safety Foundation does great work in training new riders and aiding experienced riders to maintain their skills. This book covers the "how to" of safe motorcycle operation and riding. It goes into much greater depth than the MSF's Basic Rider Course and the course materials. It well supplements and fleshes out the topics covered in MSF's courses with well written and useful information. I highly recommend it for every biker.
Good basic beginners book September 24, 2008 Terry (Etowah, NC) This is a good book for entry level riders. Covers all concerns a new rider should be aware of.
MSF Guide September 18, 2008 R. L. Hollister (Sierra Vista, AZ) After being off a motorcycle for several years I wanted a guide to review basic riding and safety techniques while waiting to get into the the MSF Basic Riders Course. This filled the bill and also helped review for the MVD test. Good level of detail and style of writing. Definitely recommend. RLH
Every riders life September 16, 2008 Alexey Nikanorov (St-Petersburg, RUSSIA) This is The One! One of the best safety books ever created for riders. Pretty sure that reading this book will save your life. The book you must have it has simple clear diagram, honest explanations of possible troubles and avoidance of them.
