1. 
   Everything the young motorcycle enthusiast would like to know about the powerful two-wheeled wonder is present in this entry from the Machines at Work series. Information is presented in a logical fashion, in clear, easily understood text. The large photographs complement the text and contain easily read and understood captions. An included link in the bibliography leads the reader to a comprehensive site on motorcycles, which would require the assistance of a more able reader. Motorcycles would make a beneficial addition to an early elementary collection on transportation.

2 comments about Vespa: The Colour Family Album (Colour Album Series).

1. This book is great. The book covers how vespa have grown over the past fifty years. With over 90 pictures of fully restored books, this book will open your eyes about vespas



2. i picked up this book and read it from cover to cover immediately. the photos are gorgeous, and the information is presented in easily understood language. it's a book that's probably aimed at kids, but it was just what i needed to be introduced to the topic. anyone who collects books about scooters will enjoy owning this... the photographers were very careful in choosing settings that compliment the vespas *beautifully*, as you can see from the cover!

1. The book had only motorcycles in it. It is a chapter book for younger people. I am in first grade and like chapter books. I got done in two days. There were pictures of people and harley davidson motorcycles.

5 comments about Sportbiking: The Real World 2.

1. I was disapointed and could not learn much from it. I didn't like the writing style - very distracting - and concepts - confusing. Try Twist of the Wrist II from Keith Code and/or Sport Riding Techniques from Nick Ienatsch. Those are good investment.



2. I found a good mixture of riding techniques and suspension setup information in this book. I liked finding the combination all in one place. I hadn't had much luck in gettting my R1 to handle like I'd hoped, even though I tried turning some of the adjusters. I realized I needed help figuring out more about the concepts of how suspension worked and a plan on what I needed to do to get it right.

   I found the chapters on suspension in this book were written in an easy to follow way that I could understand. The suspension setup process was described as step by step, with a lot of good explanation of the whys of how it all worked too. Not having much experience with suspension that was a big plus for me.

   The difference in the handling of my R1 alone after following the suspension setup instuctions, made this book well worth the cost.

   It doesn't rain that much here in Arizona, but if it does the really detailed rain riding section provided in the back of the book certainly has left me better prepared for it. I haven't seen this topic covered in such great detail in any other books.




3. Amazon offers several great books that will help you improve your riding and street survival skills - unfortunately, this book is not one of them. The author's ego and lack of knowledge have produced a book with few meaningful insights into sport riding. You will be better served by any of the excellent instructional books from Keith Code, David L. Hough, Nick Ienatsch or Lee Parks.



4. I'm pretty unsure of where to rank this book. Gary J is not a professional author (and it shows in the copy editing and writing of the book). What he does do, though, is provide a bunch of real world experience and riding tips in both volumes.
   
   It covers riding theory, riding skills, and practical suspension setup - something i've found invaluable as a rider myself. While this doesn't give you an instant background of "how and why" of riding, it will help those who're in the middle range of skill get better. It's not a beginners book by any means. He assumes that you've been on the road or the track for a while, he also assumes you know the basics of riding (experience and MSF course, really).
   
   I have, in the past recommended this book to people, on mailing lists, and in person. It is a very solid investment for your money. It's a quick read, with plain language, and yeah, it can be confusing at times, especially if you don't have the base skills he's talking about or mentioning.
   
   if you're looking for beginner books, look elsewhere. if you're looking for a good book to help you fine tune what you already know or suspect, pick this up and give it a read.



5. I wish there were more books like this one on motorcycles. It worth its weight in gold. Too many of motorcycle books trying to compensate for a lack of originality and content by a gloss paper and meaningless pictures.
