Customer comments on this selection.
 So-so
The material in the book is useful for an introduction to riding, yet it seemed that the book was a poor written version of Proficient Motorcycling. There are many occasions in which the author states material off of Proficient Motorcycling almost word by word. Book is ok, vaque in some parts, yet there are many better books out there with a more in depth introduction to riding.
 The second worst book on the market.....
Another Pat Hahn waste of time. The only consolation is that it isn't as pitiful as his first book, "Ride Hard, Ride Smart."
 Great Information
I bought this book for a friend. It reinforces the basic skills needed to become a safe motorcycle rider.
Mediocre Book, Not Enough Advanced Information!
This book is mediocre at best, and it is pulled even further into the pit of cliche writing by the authors insistance for the reader to prepare for the inevitable motorcycle crash. Sure, Hahn is just trying to get the motorcyclist to gear up properly, but his method just turns you off and makes you want to find a better reading. He insists, chapter after chapter that sooner or later, as you travel your motorcycling path, you are going to face the inevitable motorcycle accident or crash, no matter what you do. Come on Hahn, give us all a break. Do you take everyone of us to be so simple minded that we just hop on a bike without assesing the risks involved? Hahn's negativity made me put the book down without completing it just for the fact that the crash pyschology he preached was such a turn off as to make me believe that if I followed his teaching, I would end up in the middle of a street somewhere the end result of his book! I could read a dozen of these How To Ride books and write a much better correlation on the subject without the scare tatics! Give us a break Mr. Hahn!
Just what I needed
I almost didn't buy this book based on that "joke" review below, but boy am I glad I did! There is a ton of information here and it's just what I needed as a beginner!!! I can't wait to take the MSF course this spring and then start using the techniques in this book.
I highly recommend it if you are thinking about getting into riding or if you're going to take the MSF course.
Woohoo!
