Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good book for "picking up the pace"
Review: The writer does a very good job getting his point across. Although, I felt like I had seen most of the information before, it is very handy to have the information in one place. I have only been riding a year, but I read every thing I can get my hands on. Considering the available reading material on the subject, this is definitely among the top in both quality and content. (I just wish it had more pages;)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: useful information
Review: This book although being rather concise is filled with useful information. Jaehne seems to genuinely want to make us better riders in the setting we see the most: the street. The foul weather riding section will help all riders to enjoy more riding time and improve skills.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Compact Book ...
Review: This book may be on the short side but what I think the author is trying to get across is to ride safe and to think about your skills and try to improve upon them with every ride you take. The author may not have used a fancy publishing house or had the bucks to pay an editor but maybe all he really wanted to do was to share his skills and knowledge of riding with his fellow motorcycle enthusiasts in a printed format! Buy the book, read it and if you learn something new that's great. And if it just reinforces some skills you already knew that's great, too!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The novice riders pamphlet
Review: This handbook (a mere 60 pages on dry weather riding, 30 pages on wet weather riding) really only offers a two pieces of advice: keep the bike at an optimum weight balance and take late apexes. The rest pretty much boils down to a combination of MSF course work, common sense, unentertaining stories, and mainstream motorcycling magazine backbiting.

Overall, an underwhelming read and not very useful to an 'advanced rider'.

Summary: This Book Lives Up To It's Name
Review: While most books are written either for the racetrack or the utopian safety instruction classroom, this book candidly addresses advanced street riding from a truly realistic point of view. It covers everything from braking & line selection to safety gear to bike set-ups -- it even dedicates an entire section to riding in the rain. I find it to be a very practical guide for safely improving my on-street performance. It's also very personable -- the author elaborates on each technique with personal anecdotes. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and will reference/recommend it often!
