Proficient Motorcycling by David L. Hough (2000, Paperback, Illustrated)

This book covers it all deer,dogs,morons at intersections,lousy off ramps,unmarked construction etc.
The author has personally ridden over 750,000 miles in cities and highways.
He knows how he did it and is able to communicate it in a humorous pull no punches method.
This book is for beginners as well as veterans. We all need all the help we can get to stay alive out there! He gives you the information you need to survive and enjoy each ride. I am a veteran rider myself with nearly 200,000 miles under my own belt. I am intending to carry this book with me while riding so that when I take a break I can refer to it. I discovered while reading that I have acquired numerous bad habits. My priority is to replace them “better strategies”contained in this and his next book which is as good as this one. I never thought experience was going to become this easy to get. Keep the rubber side down

This is an excellent book! Whether you're a novice or an experienced rider, you could really benefit from David Hough's experience. He looks at all avenues about riding. He addresses the risks, the gear, and the pleasure of riding in such a way that only a seasoned rider could. I really feel that you're missing out if you don't buy this book.

Excellent book, Absolutely perfect condition. He shipped very timely as well! This item was well packaged. Since shopping with ebay, I have never received a book in better condition. Charles

This book was recommended by some other MC enthusiasts. Were they ever right! This book has seen numerous printings and reviews and they are all excellent. The author knows his stuff and you need to listen to what he says. I've changed several things I thought were OK w/ my riding style since I've read the book. I'd consider this book a PREREQUISITE to riding a MC, or even considering purchasing one. For a few dollars you will get so much insight into the challenges and rewards of riding, whether as a weekender or a daily commuter. I will never get rid of this book, I'm already on my third reading of it! Great for scooter enthusiasts as well!!!

Loved this book! As a new rider and having taken a motorcycle safety course and getting my license, there are still things I just was not 'getting'. Finally, seeing it in print after learning it and doing it (sometimes) it made sense. Basic, should know stuff in an easy to read format and yet highly informative and important to any motor cycler.
