Summary: Street Strategies : A Survival Guide for Motorcyclists
Comment: Hough does it again!

This follow-on to his previous book "Proficient Motorcycling" (also quite good) is very readable and specifically designed to highlight specific hazards and how to spot/avoid them.

The chapters are actually just long paragraphs that are brief and to the point.

I'm a new biker so I really need this kind of info. Even so, I bet that experienced hands would find the topics covered a helpful refresher. They are presented in alphabetical order so the reader can specifically find and focus on a specific situation.

Highly recommended.

Summary: Not My First Pick
Comment: Street Strategies is a fine book. However, I'd choose to buy Hough's other book, Proficient Motorcycling first.

Street Strategies is a book filled full of snapshots that warn the rider of potential dangers while riding on the road. Proficient Motorcycling is a book with a larger charge. It warns of road dangers, in addition points the way toward more skillful riding. It has exercises designed to help the rider build the skills needed to avoid danger and feel the satisfaction of good bike control.

I changed my star rating from four to five stars 12/16/01. The book has five stars worth of information. Originally, I was comparing the book to Hogue's "Proficient Motorcycling" which I still think is a better first choice for many riders. However, considered on its own merits "Street Strategies" is an excellent choice.

Rating: 4
Summary: Useful only if you didn't read Proficient Motorcycling
Comment: This is not a bad book at all. Just by knowing its author any rider can tell he/she will find good learning material inside. But it is not more than a well organized and decorated synthesis of same author's Proficient Motorcycling couple of books. I strongly recommend those as the Bible for street riders. Anyway, if you like, you can take this nice compilation, it's a good choice as a night table book.
