5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, February 17, 2008
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 Motorcycle idiot's bible, May 15, 2009
By O.S. (Chile) - See all my reviews
This book is as useful as entertaining, and a must for the not-so-experienced motorcyclist. From models over safety to maintenance, it is all in there.
