A great up-to-date ‘ground zero’ guide to motorcycling for the novice or beginning rider. Written in a friendly, explanatory prose, this book takes the neophyte through the kinds of bikes and riders that are out there, as well as what would make a good beginner machine (plus what to look for when you buy). And that’s just the start. Other sections include the topics of street survival, maintenance, and the motorcycling community. There are appendixes too, covering all currently sold bikes in the U.S., and even a glossary of rider’s terms! A great start to our sport/hobby/way of life, etc... If you know someone starting out, they could really use this. By the editors of Motorcyclist Magazine, with Darwin Holstrom (who is a great guy). Softbound, 7.5"×9", 395 pp., b/w illus. Sale: Discontinued. Limited Stock.
