These pages take you from long, snaking country roads right into the traffic of the big city, offering the best advice for dealing with the most challenging conditions, like road construction, snap-jawed intersections, skateboarders, suddenly slippery road surfaces, aggressive car drivers, oblivious SUV drivers, and "blind" truck drivers. Over 300 photos, illustrations, and diagrams accompany the easy-to-understand instructions and concepts.
This crucial guide offers first-hand experience that can literally save your life! It offers evasive tactics to handle slick surfaces, curbs, construction plates, ferocious dogs, hazardous wildlife, and difficult weather conditions.

Whatever your motorcycling goals, whether you're a novice riding for the first time or a seasoned road warrior, this is the must-have resource to improving your skills and arriving safely!
