Summary: Practice the techniques from the class (that you forgot).
Review: This book is great. I was planning on taking the advanced class again this spring, but alas, they are booked up through September in my area. So, I picked up this book; it's a great supplement to the class, and an excellent refresher-read for those who have taken the course in the past. The drawings that illustrate the techniques are excellent, and sound safe-rider advice is prevalant throughout. The text is clear and easy to understand, and the book is organized very well. The chapter on counter-steering is the best I've seen.Not as good as taking the class, but valuable just the same.

Summary: Good, But Buy This Other Book Instead
Review: Though this helped me to learn how to ride, I'm glad I bought "Proficient Motorcycling" by David L. Hough at the same time. (Thanks Amazon for recommending it!) It includes everything in this book and more. I found much of this book to waste too much time on theory that really didn't help you learn how to drive a motorcycle. The traction pie charts on the cover are an example--interesting, but how do apply it when I'm sitting on the bike! Just go with David Hough's book and save yourself a few bucks.
