3.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy both books, April 22, 2003

This is not a bad book, but don't make the mistake I made of getting both this and Proficient Motorcycling, also by Hough. Proficient Motorcycling contains all the information in this book and then a lot more, and should be required reading for anyone who wants to drive a motorcycle.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good stuff, February 9, 2002

By	B. Greene "motophotoman" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recommend this book if you are an experienced street rider. It is more of a reference though. Essentially a series of problem senarios are presented with suggested ways to handle them. It is the kind of book you pick up after something happens while you are riding and you wonder if you could have handled it better.

I bought this along with the author's Proficient Motorcycling title. I found that Street Strategies is mostly the same material presented in a different format. If you want to brush up or learn to ride better get Proficient Motorcycling alone.

Otherwise, this book has some good tips for staying safe on the street.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful only if you didn't read Proficient Motorcycling, October 31, 2003

By	Marcelo A. Soto Quiroga (Maracay, Venezuela) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is not a bad book at all. Just by knowing its author any rider can tell he/she will find good learning material inside. But it is not more than a well organized and decorated synthesis of same author's Proficient Motorcycling couple of books. I strongly recommend those as the Bible for street riders. Anyway, if you like, you can take this nice compilation, it's a good choice as a night table book.
