About the Author
Kip Woodring obtained his first motorcycle license before he turned the age of fourteen, and likes to say, “I’ve never been without a motorcycle since - except for six months when I lost my license in 1970. I've owned so many motorcycles in the last 47-years, I've lost count of the total. Got my first job in the industry, because I hung around the local shop so much they figured if they couldn't get me to leave, they might as well put me to work!" Since that first license and that first job in the motorcycle industry, Kip has worked at over ten motorcycle dealerships, not to mention Custom Chrome and Triumph of America. In between his various jobs at various motorcycle dealerships and parts emporiums, Kip authored two books, is currently on the staff of Thunder Press, and does free-lance work for five additional magazines, from Hot Bike to V-Twin Magazine.

Novice guide,
This review is from: Harley-Davidson Sportster/Buell Engine Hop-Up Guide (Biker Basics) (Paperback)
I was expecting actual technical information, instead I found this book to be just a vague guide that just pretty much tells you what products do and do not work. The small amount of actual advice may be helpful to a beginner.
You can get the same advice for free from anyone that owns a Sportster and has tried to upgrade it. This may be a good guide for a novice Sportster/Buell owner, but if you have any kind of mechanical backround or even tinker with bikes on the weekends, I would suggest passing on this book.

hop-up guide review,

This review is from: Harley-Davidson Sportster/Buell Engine Hop-Up Guide (Biker Basics) (Paperback)
this wasn't a bad book, just outdated! should have said 86-03. NO rubbermount or buell xb and barely any 1200sport. we're halfway through 2008 and these were all signifigant changes in the sportster/buell line-ups. is probably still good enough for most readers. i just had specific questions on all 3 subjects mentioned that h-d and local shops could not answer for me and that's why i bought the book in the 1st place. oh-well.
4.0 out of 5 stars
