Customer comments on this selection.
 The best motorcycle safety book
I've read a decent amount of books on motorcycle safety, but this one rates the best for me. I go back to it often.
You can tell that a lot of thought and experience went into making this book.
If every motorcyclist read and practiced what was in this book, there would be a DRASTIC drop in accidents. But if motorcyclists want to be stupid, then remember, stupid hurts (as the Honda advertisement says).
The Police Rider's Handbook to Better Motorcycling
I wish car drivers to read books like this so to make the road use safer. Because 9 out of 10 road accidents involving a motorbike and a car, is the car which inisiate the accident, due to ignorance of road safety and the diferent beetwen two and four wheels.
 Dry squared
Take the writing style of an unimaginative textbook, and combine it with the dry, stoic nature of quite a large percentage of the British. That's how exciting this book is. Just a little humor, no offense intended, this book is so bland it is difficult to read. More importantly, while it does have a number of good ideas and points to make, it really is very thin on useful, practical information. Unless you are a complete boob or know nothing about operating any vehicle on public roads, you probably will not gain any insight that will improve your riding.
Fair but not great
I prefer the lessons I learned in Nick Ienatsch's Sport Riding Techniques. The book is a basic road usage guide but provides no insight on difficult maneuvers that I was looking for. Be advised that the examples used assume left side driving that "colours" the advice but also hightens your awareness of what you are reading.
the UK motorcycle police call it 'the bible'
having done some limited training with the london metropolitan police riders i started to appreciate just how much better than me a class 1 trained police rider really is. throwing my bike into a series of tight lefts and rights on public roads i never once managed to shake the PC behind me - i was on a gixxer 600 with over 100bhp and he was 30yrs older than me on a BMW tourer. my respect was upped enormously.the same policeman told me to read roadcraft and i can truly attest that this book will not only make you safer, it will make you both a faster and safer rider and the combination will put a smile on your face all day long. the content is a bit dry, but for anyone that loves their bike and loves feeling like the king of the road, then the effort should prove extremely rewarding. save your life and brighten up your weekend all at once, read this manual.
