This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Motorcycles, 4th Edition (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was packed full of very useful information, and was a joy to read. I normally can't just sit down and read a book like this, I've got a very short attention span. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Motorcycles, 4th Edition (Complete Idiot's Guide to) had just enough humor packed in with all the information to keep me from being overloaded, and kept me looking forward to the next page. It took me less than a week of evenings to finish reading this, and I find myself re-reading sections every now and then.

Definitely a great book for the first-time rider. I own my own motorcycle now, and had a much better idea of what to expect thanks to this book.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but don't let it scare you., October 3, 2009

This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Motorcycles, 4th Edition (Mass Market Paperback)

I found this book to be enjoyable and packed full with great information for the beginner but with a few more warnings than I think is necessary. It might be enough to frighten an already nervous beginner. The warnings about beginners needing to start with smaller bikes, progressing over time to an intermediate bike and then to a larger one, had me, as a beginner, a bit worried. I went straight to the big heavy weight Harley anyway, and the other information in this book helped prepare me to have many fun and safe rides.
