Overview

For the new rider, the returning rider, and the veteran who's looking for more information, this handy book has it all: the necessary facts on street-riding from first to last, clearly and concisely laid out. Author Bill Stermer brings an insider's knowledge to the job, and the result is an expert, user-friendly guide to selecting, equipping, understanding, and using a motorcycle - with occasional useful detours into such topics as road food and tunes, security and first aid, staying warm and dry, carrying laptops or cameras, and shipping your bike. From a close survey of the types of street motorcycles and different engine configurations, Stermer goes on to discuss features and options, accessories and apparel, mechanical considerations (from power and suspension to detailing and tires), and using a motorcycle in a group or alone or with a passenger, to commute or camp, for rallies or tours.

Motorcycle.com, Sept. 4, 2007 <br> With the aforementioned sense of order he clinically slices through the fluff, eviscerates any excess, and delivers a conclusion that still twitches on the serving platter ... Beginners invariably want to know 'what is the best for me?' Experienced riders are more interested in the answer to 'is it worth the money?' Stermer's book meets both requirements ... This book is a good reference work and could even be prescribed as an antidote to Moto-Journalist Over-complication Syndrome (MOJOS). <br>
