Summary: Just When I Thought I Knew It All....
Review: A fantastic leap forward in the world of motorcycle safety. As an instructor and enthusiast, I thought I'd reached the point in which there was nothing left to learn. There is more to learn--and a lot of it.While beginners could benefit from this book, experienced riders will relish the advanced and detailed information far more. Anyone who rides a motorcycle on the street should read this. It's no safety "snoozefest." It's really fun and interesting. It covers the Hurt Study, basic motorcycle safety strategies, choosing the safest route, when to ride and when not to ride, visibility, positioning, techniques for high-risk situations, risk heirarchy and categorization, visualization for practice and experience, big-picture theories about traffic flow and conflict, and how to deal with distractions. Plus, it's funny as heck and written in an easy-to-read, engaging format. The photographs and diagrams are really beautifully done. A more apt title would be, "Motorcycling for the Risk Averse." If you want to learn 101 new ways to ride safer and smarter, this is the book for you.

Summary: Brilliant! A life saver!
Review: This book contains brilliant insights on safe street riding, and is written in an extremely readable and downright hilarious way. I read it cover to cover the night I brought it home. Not only did I enjoy it, I laughed out loud. Never before has a book about motorcycle safety cracked me up. But most importantly, I learned things that may save my life. I have been riding motorcycle for 30 years, am a licensed racer, and have ridden close to 1,000,000 miles on the street. What I learned in this book changed the way I ride. This book will make my next 1,000,000 miles far more safe than the last. Great work!
