Customer Reviews

Good refernce book for beginners5
This is a good book to read to learn about the basics of motorcycling and riding.

Idiot's Guide to Motorcycles5

This is a thoughtfully and well-written book for would-be beginners.

The author does an excellent job of acquainting the novice with all the charm, excitement, work and dangers of owning and riding motorcycles.

He convinced this 78-year-old to engage in something less demanding.

But only regretfully so.

I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in motorcycling.

Great All-Around Guide for Motorcyclists5
This book is a great resource for motorcyclists. It has history, skill development, and repair sections, and is incredibly handy as a reference book. I would definitely recommend this book for beginning to intermediate motorcyclists.
