5.0 out of 5 stars the police call it 'the bible', 5 Mar 2004
By 
marty mcfly - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: Motorcycle Roadcraft: The Police Rider's Handbook to Better Motorcycling (Paperback)
having done some limited training with the metropolitan police riders, i started to appreciate just how much better than me a class 1 trained police rider really is. throwing my bike into a series of tight lefts and rights on public roads i never once managed to shake the PC behind me - i was on a supersports with over 100bhp and he was 30yrs older than me on a BMW tourer. my respect was upped enormously.

the same PC told me to read roadcraft and i can truly attest that this book will not only make you safer, it will make you both a faster and safer rider and the combination will put a smile on your face all day long. the content is a bit dry, but for anyone that loves their bike and loves feeling like the king of the road, then the effort should prove extremely rewarding.

save your life and brighten up your weekend all at once, read this manual.

5.0 out of 5 stars Power is nothing without Control, 10 Jun 2005
This review is from: Motorcycle Roadcraft: The Police Rider's Handbook to Better Motorcycling (Paperback)
I bought this bike off a motorcycle cop. I had just completed a day's Bikesafe training organised by my local force. As I handed over the cash the officer looked me in the eye and said " All you will ever need to know about road riding craft is in here". He was right. It has all the easy dialogue and feel of a tax return, but its concise and clear presentation help ram the message home: Power is nothing without control. This is especially true as road bikes are replicating the performance and handling of their racing counterparts more and more.
A good way of staving off boredom and keeping yourself sharp is described in the book. Using observation to anticipate upcoming hazards keeps you sharp and makes sure you're looking in the right direction when someone pulls out unexpectedly in front of you .
This book has really made me aware that however good a rider I think I am, I could be much better. It has encouraged me to look at riding as an ongoing training experience. Every motorcyclist should own a copy. Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vital reading, 28 Sep 2000
This review is from: Motorcycle Roadcraft: The Police Rider's Handbook to Better Motorcycling (Paperback)
The techniques learnt from this book have saved my life several times.

You've heard the "it's not you, it's the other bloke" warnings?

This book is all about how to be somewhere else when "the other bloke" makes his mistake.
