From the article ":resist the temptation to buy a bunch of chrome widgets until you've had a chance to at least put 500 miles on the bike. I think his exact words were, "Ride the **** out of it!"

So I should wait forone wekeend before accessorizing?No offense to the author butwhy dopeople need a book to tell them how to be "authentic"The only thing I found on him is that he produces American Thunder.

 

For those that don't recognize the guys name, he co-hosts American Thunder on the Speed Channel.

 

No one agress with everything that they read but I will say...the more you know the more you grow.

Haven't read anything like this but would consider it.

Thanks for the info.

 

A 'bikers manual' - to me - is tantamount to one needing a book titled, "How to Breath". While the intent of the author may be genuine, those who might find a 'need' for such a read would - in my opinion - be better served spending their monies elsewhere. What's next; "1%'rs for Dummies"???

 

mmmmm, not thanks, I'll pass. Don't need no stinkin' book[&:]

 

I've read it, thought it had some good info and wasentertaining. After reading some of the previous posts it makes me wonder if I'm not taking this being a biker sh*t seriously enough.

 

I just ride the phuckin' thing,I don't need some clown telling me how to be cool

 

I wish I had thought of writing the book.

 

Lord! now I have to read a book to tell me about riding???? I guess I'll throw out the last 35 years and have to re-learn evrything......

crap - just when I was gettingthe hang of it.....

 

not read the book, don't own it, then again; I was riding in the days he talks about. Some of you should read it, it might keep you out of trouble!
