This fresh update of the world's best introduction to safe street-riding techniques now marries color imagery and contemporary road scenes with expanded content and more real road hazard strategies written in clear, concise,easy-to follow instruction that has made the book #1.
David L. Hough (pronounced "huff") and his wife Diana reside in the Port Angeles area, about 80 miles northwest of Seattle, but they have toured worldwide by motorcycle.
Dave took up motorcycling in 1965 as a means to commute to work. But he quickly discovered that there wasn't much information available to help a new motorcyclist. So he started gathering what he could find, and after several years began sharing sharing "safety tips" with the Boeing Employees' Motorcycle Club.
That led to a long career of writing skills information for Road Rider magazine, Motorcycle Consumer News, BMW Owners News, and other commercial magazines. In 2000, after 40+ years of riding and writing, Hough selected the best of his work for publication as the book "Proficient Motorcycling", followed by two other books, Street Strategies" and "More Proficient Motorcycling." Proficient Motorcycling is now in it's second edition in English, and is also published in Russian, German, and Polish.
Hough is one of only a few motorcycle journalists who has also been a certified instructor for both two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles. He wrote the book "Driving A Sidecar Outfit." Hough has been honored by awards from the Motorcycle Safety Foundation and the BMWMOA Foundation, and is being inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame in 2009 in recognition of his efforts toward motorcycle safety.
