About the author

Motorcycling has had a profound effect on my life both personally and professionally. Writing a book on getting into motorcycling seemed natural as I really want to show what it can be to you. Society (and your parents!) can easily vilify and scare you out of ever wanting to ride a motorcycle. Is it really that dangerous? Yes, it can be. With common sense, knowing the stats, education, and motorcycle gear there is no reason why you can have the same life changing experiences I’ve had.

We live in a society that constantly wants to make everything safe. We go along with it because it makes sense. Yet we seek out danger in the things we watch and experience. We need that thrill, it is in our DNA. We did not evolve to live in plush environments watching a screen all day long. Getting out there and experiencing the world is where we will get the most of out of life. Adventure my hurt us, but monotony will kill us.

If your curiosity can’t ignore motorcycles take the first step and read about it. Motorcycling is a skill that you can take with you for the rest of your life. It can be that quick weekend ride, a ride along dirt roads, big trips across country, a scooter ride in Thailand, or a speedy day on the track. Motorcycling can be anything you want and you can control most of the risk. It isn’t just sheer luck I’ve made it this far on motorcycles. My friends are still here riding along with me. Join us, make new friends, experiences, and have new adventures.

[Glen · Rating 4 out of 5]

I won this book in a goodreads drawing.

The author teaches a motorcycling class, and writes what he knows with a missionary zeal. Even if you don't like motorcycles, you might consider getting one after reading this. It tells you how to ride, where to ride, and the different riding experiences you can have.

Really educational.
