Book Review....

After a rainy week, with more talk about motorcycles than riding, I figured I may as well write a book review.  (Well, this didn't get published that week, because the weather improved!) Today's book is How to Ride Off Road Motorcycles.


How to Ride Off Road Motorcycles is an AWESOME manual with step by step instructions on how to teach it and/or do it right.  There are isolated lessons for each skill, fun stories that remind me that the experts were beginners once, and photographs that show how to do it correctly.  The skills start with identifying parts of the dirt bike, how to use the clutch and throttle, and how to brake.  But, they don't stop there.  This book covers advanced techniques including wheelies, large obstacles, whoops, jumps, and so much more.  There is even a chapter on applying this knowledge to street bike riding!


I recommend this book to all beginners who want to build good habits, and even recommend a quick read by veterans can help improve skills.
