Beginner’s Guide to Motorcycle Riding

cartoon

These pages contain information that will help beginning motorcycle riders get a safe and successful start. The advice reflects the wisdom of many experienced riders with tens of thousands of miles under their butt.

The theme of this guide is: Start Smart, Buy Smart, Ride Smart. If you approach riding with solid preparation and a healthy attitude with respect for the inherent dangers, you will minimize the risks and enjoy a long motorcycle riding career.

Many of the links on these pages plus more are listed on my links for new riders page. Bookmark the links page and refer to them at your leisure.

More Resources

Buy a copy of Proficient Motorcycling by David Hough (available at on-line book stores) and study it after you have taken a beginning rider training course. Also visit the Motorcycle-USA newbie forum, Beginner And Beyond forums and Total Motorcycle new bikers forum. They are attended by friendly, experienced riders who are happy to help you.
