Product Description

Product Description
A sister publication to the highly successful "Learn to Drive", this colourful new edition contains everything you need to know to master the skills of motorcycling. Fully updated with all the new regulations and test details, it takes you from the first stages of Compulsory Basic Training through to passing your theory and practical motorcycle tests. It makes the ideal study aid, combining all the elements of the motorcycle test - including the full list of theory questions - in a single volume. Clearly written and illustrated, the book contains top-class photography that directly relates the advice given to real-life riding situations on the road.

About the Author
Robert Davies began his career in motoring journalism in 1986 and writes extensively about driving, travel and road safety, especially in his capacity as features editor of Advanced Driving, the magazine of the Institute of Advanced Motorists. He lives near Blandford in Dorset.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for any beginner, 12 Dec 2007
By Mrs. S. J. Doolan (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Learn to Ride: Everything You Need to Pass Your Motorcycle Test - All in One Book (Paperback)
I read a friends copy of this out of boredom when i had nothing else to read and to say i was surprised was an understatement.

I have already passed my test, but still found this interesting.
it's surprising just how much of the basics you have forgotten.
It gives you everything from basic riding skills and tehniques - right up to sitting the actual test's themselves.

For once an honest book that actually delivers what it says on the cover.

I would recommend this for all beginners thinking about taking up riding and also - Motorcycle Foundation's Guide to Motorcycling Excellence: Skills, Knowledge and Strategies for Riding Right , for when you have passed :)

5.0 out of 5 stars The only book you will need to pass your motorcycle test?, 13 April 2008
This review is from: Learn to Ride: Everything You Need to Pass Your Motorcycle Test - All in One Book (Paperback)
One word sums up this book - "thorough". The book genuinely covers everything that you will need to know to complete your CBT, pass the theory test and successfully pass your practical test.

Well presented throughout, with helpful pictures, diagrams and photos, this book is brilliant. The style of writing is pleasant, describing material in enough detail to be complete, but not so much as to become heavyweight.

The current edition of this book does now include the questions you may be asked in a 2008 theory test, as the book was revised with questions current from September 2007 onwards (at the time the number of questions in the test increased to 50). The current version (which I have) is ISBN #978-1844252206 and looks like that in the Amazon photo above.

Although you could pass the test with just this book, I would still recommend the Focus Multimedia Test Success Hazard Perception DVD-ROM and the official DSA Theory Test for Motorcyclists CD-ROM. This will ensure that you have experience of the mechanisms used to test you in the theory test.

I wouldn't recommend the DSA Theory Test for Motorcyclists book, which duplicates the questions at the back of "Learn to Ride". Nor would I recommend buying a copy of the Highway Code, as for learning purposes, you can read it on the DirectGov website.

In summary, if you can only get one book to help you pass your motorbike tests, make it this one.
