I started riding a motorcycle for the first time ever this month. Been driving cars for over 30 years, but it wasn’t easy transferring over to a motorbike. I found this to be a useful book as it covers all the key stuff you need to know. Not necessarily in great detail, but enough to make me aware of what I need to know. For example, I realised while reading this that I hadn’t a clue on how to do a proper maintenance check on my new motorbike. Some bits in book are stating the bleeding obvious, but I liked the fact that it doesn’t assume that you have prior knowledge.

Some pages completely unreadable or missing

Due to the format, some pages present only one line of vertical text and missing chunks of information. Buy the actual book instead of ebook.
