5Learn to do it correctly  Jul 07, 2010
I have been riding motorcycles for 60 years. This easy to read book taught me many new skills and reinforced many that had, over the years, become rusty.

5Informative and Entertaining.  Nov 30, 2009
I could gush about how much fun it was to read this book for ages, but I'd like to keep it short and to the point.

Reading this book as someone just getting interested in motorcycles, I was able to learn the basics in a lot of areas of the subject. Types of engines, the history of motorcycles, even safe riding techniques and gear.
This book is well written and engaging. You can learn a lot and won't get bored.

I would definately reccomend this book, and can easily and confidently rate it five stars. :)

5Good book, but don't let it scare you.  Oct 03, 2009
I found this book to be enjoyable and packed full with great information for the beginner but with a few more warnings than I think is necessary. It might be enough to frighten an already nervous beginner. The warnings about beginners needing to start with smaller bikes, progressing over time to an intermediate bike and then to a larger one, had me, as a beginner, a bit worried. I went straight to the big heavy weight Harley anyway, and the other information in this book helped prepare me to have many fun and safe rides.

1Pass on the Kindle version!  Sep 07, 2009
This was the first book I downloaded for my Kindle, and boy what a disappointment! The formating of the book is terrible. On every page there are at least two or three words which are run together. In other words, there is no space between the words. I was usually able to figure out what was being said, but I don't understand how such an error was able to get by quality control. Doesn't anyone look at these books before they are offered for download? Also, later in the book, there are text descriptions which accompany photographs of various bikes. In every case, the text is on a separate page from the photo making it difficult to read and understand. The whole attempt at an ebook is a failure and it's clear that whoever converted this books could care less about the quality.

4With no troubles  Aug 16, 2009
I received the book promptly and in perfect condition a few weeks ago. Since then, I've been reading enthusiastically thru. Seller recommended! Rod
