I’m a 54 year old male thinking of returning to motorcycling after a 20 year gap – that is for 20 years I have not sat on the seat of a motorcycle. However, I am aware of safety and especially how traffic conditions have changed over the years (I’m writing from Sydney Australia a city which has almost quadrupled in size since I started motorcycling in the early 1980s). Moreover, I had a “nasty” fall when riding in my younger days that left me with significant hip damage. So, when I said to a friend, “before I buy any motorcycle to return to motorcycling I’m going to read a book” the response (and expectedly so) was laugher. My friend in his wisdom (who has maintained his riding and has ridden for over 40 years) politely advised that if I need a book then I should give up the idea of returning to riding as obviously it’s about re-gaining the experience and has nothing to do with reading about it. He said “Just do it don’t read it”. He couldn’t be further from the truth. I’m glad I purchased David Hough’s book. I'm saddened that it’s not a must for rider education courses here in Australia. I only wish I had this knowledge 20 years back when I was riding – it certainly would have helped me prevent if not better manage the serious motorcycle accident I had. I realized my “poor” riding habits and fuzzy understandings (eg body steering vs counter steering; inadequate braking techniques). Interestingly, Mr Hough debunks body steering in favour of counter steering thus following motorcycle training guru Keith Code). Moreover, when I obtained my motorcycle licence 30 years ago (in Sydney Australia) there were few requirements. The instructor just watched me from behind on his bike riding a few kms around the block and doing a figure 8 without touching the ground. That’s it! I passed and obtained my licence. Unfortunately, in Sydney there are at present no courses specifically designed for returning riders, in fact, the only courses available are for motorcyclists which have graduated from “learners” to “Provisional” (the course itself is limited and short – within its 3 hours much is missed ie “counter steering”; blipping the throttle for safe downshifting). I can write more. This book has opened my mind to riding; it has helped me better understand what I was doing; not doing; and things to improve upon; I have a “road map” for better and safer riding which makes sense and is immediately applicable – its knowledge I applied and tested (and discussed with the instructor) with the short riding course I recently undertook. Riding is not something “instinctual” as my friend would have it; you need to have the right knowledge which will then become through right application automatic in the right manner. For this purpose Mr Hough’s book is perfect – a no-nonsense informative evidentially based and easy to read guide on riding in whatever situation.

Some of the comments have complained that this book overlaps his earlier book ("Proficient Motorcycling"): they discuss the same subject, but to different audiences (this is for more experienced riders)--so of course there will be overlap. So, should you get both like I did?If you are new to cycling--especially 2 wheelers--you need to get a lot of absolutely critical information into your mind so deeply that you don't think about it and then remember things: there is no time for that. It has to be second nature: you have to directly go to determining action.So, I read the beginner's book before the basic motorcycling class, and this book after the class and after I had a few hundred miles under my belt. You learn through spaced repetition: this second book drove home critical points, and added new information as well.Personally, I like Hough's writing style: it is like sitting down with a good friend who knows everything about motorcycling, and having a nice relaxing conversation (complete with stories).I also am taking additional motorcycle classes, and I have other motorcycle books too, including: "Motorcycling the Right Way" by Ken Condon (which is also a good read); and "Total Control" by Lee Parks. I find the Parks book harder to read, but if you learn through reading, it is one of those books that you just have to have--there is no other like it.

David Hough provides valuable information to get your head into your ride and anticipate and avoid potential problems / crashes. He brings a lifetime (45 years +) of riding experience and 100s of 1,000s of miles of mc riding on several continents, years of writing mc safety columns, etc, to bear on the advice given. His advice is for both new and experienced riders. I have all his books and recommend reading them all. His unique clues of what to look for in actual / anticipated situations, behavior under all traffic and weather conditions is invaluable. And supported by independent reports, statistics, graphs, pictures / photos, including his own as a past illustrator at Boeing; and recommendations on alternative courses and resources. I found all his books to be easy reads, which is good considering that a rider should re-read them periodically to refine good habits and continually work at getting rid of bad habits. Wish I had these resources in the mid '60's when I started riding in CA. He is one of the first writers to discuss the myth of multitasking while driving (us and other motorists), which the most recent studies support (the majority of us c/n multitask when tested objectively). Reading his books provides anlysis of far more riding situations than most of us individually face in several years riding, and could cause us to avoid an unusual life-threatening situation if it presents itself. This book seems to get a little more into the psychology of others on the road and clues to watch for. I recommend all his books as well as Lee Parks's and Keith Code's.
