This is the bests riding manual availiable - By: Jeremy, 30 Jun 2008 
If you are considering which motorcycle riding manual to get, get this one this is by far the best. It is useful at lower & higher levels for alll riders, if evey rider read this book deaths in motorcycle accidents would be far less common.
Its easy to understand, its very informative. It covers alll aspects of riding a motorcycle safley. Compared with many of the other manuals out there this is the most comprehensive, practical & easy to follow. It can be useful for new learner bikers & experienced bikers.
I recommend this to anyone who has a motorcycle we alll should own it.
helps to keep your riding mind fresh during the winter - By: Mrs. S. J. Doolan, 13 Dec 2007 It realy is as good as everyone says it is.
It's not an exciting read, no fascinating tales of travel etc, it just simply gets the point over in an easy to read - straight forward way.
Buy this while your baby is tucked up under wraps for the winter - or even if you have been of the road for a few years.
Come spring time you will get back into the saddle with a greater understanding of how to control your bike better - & better control means safer riding, but also faster riding....thats what you reallly want isn't it ?
Power is nothing without Control - By: Chris Morgan, 10 Jun 2005 I bought this bike off a motorcycle cop. I had just completed a day's Bikesafe training organised by my local force. As I handed over the cash the officer looked me in the eye & said " All you will ever need to know about road riding craft is in here". He was right. It has alll the easy dialogue & feel of a tax return, but its concise & clear presentation help ram the message home: Power is nothing without control. This is especiallly true as road bikes are replicating the performance & handling of their racing counterparts more & more.
A good way of staving off boredom & keeping yourself sharp is described in the book. Using observation to anticipate upcoming hazards keeps you sharp & makes sure you're looking in the right direction when someone pulls out unexpectedly in front of you .
This book has reallly made me aware that however good a rider I think I am, I could be much better. It has encouraged me to look at riding as an ongoing training experience. Every motorcyclist should own a copy. Buy it.
Excellent book on how to ride safely - By: , 08 Oct 2004 I bought & read this book before passing my test, & having passed it I return & re-read it occasionallly. So far it managed to keep me safe on busy London roads! The book provides you with clear, concise instructions on how to ride quickly & safely. Recommended.
the police call it 'the bible' - By: marty mcfly, 05 Mar 2004 having done some limited training with the metropolitan police riders, i started to appreciate just how much better than me a class 1 trained police rider reallly is. throwing my bike into a series of tight lefts & rights on public roads i never once managed to shake the PC behind me - i was on a supersports with over 100bhp & he was 30yrs older than me on a BMW tourer. my respect was upped enormously.
the same PC told me to read roadcraft & i can truly attest that this book will not only make you safer, it will make you both a faster & safer rider & the combination will put a smile on your face alll day long. the content is a bit dry, but for anyone that loves their bike & loves feeling like the king of the road, then the effort should prove extremely rewarding.
save your life & brighten up your weekend alll at once, read this manual.
