| | Description | This all-new and expanded second edition of The Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s 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 sport—a perfect refresher for anyone who has ever taken an MSF course, and an eye-opener for those who haven’t. 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. | |

 Very Informative Jul 28, 2010
Very happy with this book. It covers all the information in the Motorcycle Safety Courses and then some.
Good to review after breaks in your riding so the informations is fresh when you go out again and keeps you conciences of safety when riding.
The title says it all. Jul 07, 2010
I really enjoyed this book. It even ended up in my personal library, the toilet, where I sat too long because I just couldn't put it down. Read, practice and heed the concepts and you will have more fun and live longer.
Worth several re-readings Jul 02, 2010
This book is aimed at teaching safe motorcycle handling for the street. There is a wide range of topics about how a motorcycle works and what the operator can do to make it safer and more fun. Some of the handling tips will answer questions about the things that are of constant concern to all motorcyclists. In case you didn't know it there are two super common screw ups riders get hurt over: Cars turning head on into your lane causing you to run into them and bad cornering technique on the part of the rider causing the bike to crash without any help from anybody else but himself!
There are of course many other things to know but learning more about how to avoid accidents and learning more about how to drive the bike should be pretty self evident as a part of your self protection. You want to keep enjoying your bike and not get banged up if you can help it---right?
There is stuff that doesn't get treated in this book like how to road race or how to plan a cross country trip but for the basic knowledge of how to safely operate a bike on the street this book is the best I have seen. If you don't have any other book yet this is the right one to start with.
I have been riding for half a century and still found things to ponder in this great book. Learning is a blast!
Have fun out there!
