Rating:  Summary: Street Srategies: A Survival Guide for Motorcyclists Review: This book would be ideal for the beginning biker. It covers basic safety procedures, many of which are common to driving a car. Basically, it's using common sense. This book re-enforces all that is learned in the motorcycle training course prior to getting your license. It would be a great read for a young, beginning driver and motorcylist. It should be rated for the 'beginner motorcyclist'.
Rating:  Summary: Useful only if you didn't read Proficient Motorcycling Review: This is not a bad book at all. Just by knowing its author any rider can tell he/she will find good learning material inside. But it is not more than a well organized and decorated synthesis of same author's Proficient Motorcycling couple of books. I strongly recommend those as the Bible for street riders. Anyway, if you like, you can take this nice compilation, it's a good choice as a night table book.
Rating:  Summary: Don't buy both books Review: This is not a bad book, but don't make the mistake I made of getting both this and Proficient Motorcycling, also by Hough. Proficient Motorcycling contains all the information in this book and then a lot more, and should be required reading for anyone who wants to drive a motorcycle.

Rating:  Summary: Great book to help refresh you of all the possible dangers Review: we motorcyclists face out there. Sure alot of the situations the book covers are common sense, but lets all face it, when was the last time you thought a loose wooden board on the railroad tracks could be hazardous? And for the price, just being reminded and instructed on ways to overcome these seemingly non-dangerous situations can be is worth ever penny.Is this book as good as Proficient Motorcycling, perhaps not, if it was I would have given it 5 stars. But's it's worth every penny and you WILL be amazed at the sheer amount of situations covered in this book. So basically, make sure you have a Dot/Snell helmet, good gloves, nice protective boots, a good riding jacket, some nice riding pants and all of David's books and you will be one of the safest riders on the road... Ride safe...

Rating:  Summary: This Book will Save Your Tush... Review: Whenever I hear of an Accident, or find Myself in a Dangerous Situation, I can usually find the Scenario of it in this book. If You ride, Read it! You will see MANY Scary-Scenarious YOU have been in... or WILL be in! And Solutions or Comments on how to avoid them, BEFORE they become Real Problems. It is Short, to the Point, and should-be required reading. Hough knows how to Minimize Risk. This book will not teach You how-to ride a bike. It will teach You how-to ride a bike Safer. Book is in a Compact, easy-to-read Format, with diagrams. Thanks Mr. Hough.
