If you're looking to have someone else do suspension work for you this book is invaluable as you will be well versed in understanding what YOU are looking for, and you will be better prepared to speak the "language" of the subject, as well as judge a good tuner from a "tinkerer"."
"This book has a good deal of suspension theory in it."
"Very good book on motorcycle suspension."
"Read it, reread it, have a knowledgeable suspension person explain it, start implementing it on your own bikes and it will all make sense."
"I wasn't aware that half the book was pictures and instructions of how to actually perform the mechanical work on the forks/shock."
"If it was possible to gain real world experience by reading, this would be one of the books that would be able. to transcend reality and make it happen. If you are redesigning or doing major chassis modifications on a street bike you will also want. Tony Foale's "Motorcycle Handling and Chassis Design the Art and the Science" to compliment this book."
"Excellent information for any rider!"
"Not sure if this deserves a five, but there is really nothing to compare it too that I am aware of."

"When you finish reading a page, your hair is actually wind blown, and you can smell the pine trees and corn fields as you have been riding along with him."
"Articles by Peter Egan and Kevin Cameron were the sole remaining reasons why I continued to subscribe to Cycle World."
"A wonderful read, I miss his regular columns both here and in Road & Track."
"The last of the series of articles that Peter wrote."
"I own and have read volumes 1 and 3 and the stories capture the excitement, wonder, camaraderie, craziness, perverse logic, and sometimes pain that is motorcycling."
"Cant get enough of this scibes scribblings."
"His wit and self-deprecating humor, along with his background and knowledge of man and machine, add up to a collection of yarns that make you love motorcycling, or wish you could."
