"This book gave me a more realistic idea of how much work it is to learn to ride well and ride safe."
"Perhaps this should be required reading for anyone (like me) wanting to ride again... or even for the first time."
"Every time I read it, I get out on my bike and look, learn and listen based on the information provided by Proficient Motorcycling, then read it again, and get back out on my bike and learn some more."
"Use this book along with your knowledge from an approved Rider Safety Course that you can take locally in your area and enjoy riding your motorcycle safely."
"David Hough's book is the best compilation of information on how to survive on the streets."
"Several months later I'm still trying not to overthink every turn. That's more a reflection of me than the book though... just something to be aware of for readers who might have the same tendency to overthink things."
"I stay pretty up to date with my local motorcycle training programs, I didn't expect to learn much from this, but it taught me how to prepare for extreme climates, and different (and more logical) views on emergency evasion techniques."

"The competitive high speed info is good to know but not really for street riding nor my style of riding at this stage and age."
"The push with the left to turn left and not use any input from the right hand is a comcept well explained and I am eager to experience how it will positively impact my cornering habits at my upcoming track days."
"Great book!"
"Excellent book, getting many tips."
"Going to his school so a must read for all riders."
"Of course, reading a book cannot replace practice in the seat, but it can definitely put some good thoughts in your head to work out when you hit the street or track."
"Yes mental fortitude is extremely important but personally I'd prefer to learn what is expected of me before being told what will be intimidating."
