About this listen
NHTSA studies show that nearly half of all motorcycle fatalities are caused by rider error—and the numbers aren't getting any better. The training isn't working. The current motorcycle skills books aren't working. We need a fresh approach to helping riders NOT crash. This book is that.
David Mixson, author of the Motorcycle Smarts book series (and NASA engineer), debunks the myth that crashing is a matter of fate by explaining the most important topics that other motorcycle mega books gloss over.
In this book, you'll find one of the most in-depth, simple to understand explanations of lowside and highside crashes that exist—anywhere. Riders die every day in these rider-induced crashes—and it doesn't have to be this way.
Mastering the art of riding a motorcycle well is about understanding and overcoming rider fear. It's about having the head knowledge of how your motorcycle works so you can make it go where you want it to go. It's about understanding why riders crash so you can avoid making the same mistakes.

There are times when sitting on the couch in front of the TV seems infinitely preferable to rolling the motorbike out of the garage for a ride or putting the boots on to go for a hike, yet it’s rare that one regrets the effort. In this collection of motorcycling road trips, garage misadventures, bike reviews, and reminiscences, I try to convey my joy of riding, even when things don’t always work out perfectly. Life is short. The time is now. Do it while you still can.

Story
As high achievers, we’ve been conditioned to believe that the path to success is paved with relentless work. That if we want to overachieve, we have to overexert, overthink, and overdo. That if we aren’t perpetually exhausted, we’re not doing enough. But lately, working hard is more exhausting than ever. And the more depleted we get, the more effort it takes to make progress. Stuck in an endless loop of “Zoom, eat, sleep, repeat”, we’re often working twice as hard to achieve half as much.

In a book that is "a must for anyone who has loved a motorcycle" (Oliver Sacks), Melissa Pierson captures in vivid, writerly prose the mysterious attractions of motorcycling.

The Perfect Vehicle is not a mere recitation of facts, nor is it a polemic or apologia. Its vivid historical accounts are intertwined with Pierson's own story, which, in itself, shows that although you may think you know what kind of person rides a motorcycle, you probably don't.

Mostly about trusting electronics to save you.
Majority of the book is about high sides, low sides and how ABS, traction control and stability control can prevent them. There is a lot you can do to keep from needing to be saved so when something unexpected happens the electronics are an extra layer of protection not the primary one. That’s why the reasons for crashes haven’t changed much from the 70s even though there is all this new tech.

I am one of the riders that heard you. Your tips saved my life a couple of times already. Emergency breaking is what did it. Love the front breaks, they're my best friend now. I did not listen to my father's tip never to use the front breaks, no sir!

Excellent book independent of riding experience
This is the first of the series by Mixson on motorcycle riding. He is a rocket scientist (a NASA engineer) who took on riding as a more mature person. In addition to his more conventional trips, he's done an Alabama to Alaska trip with his friend and mentor.
He applies his riding experience and understanding of the physics of riding (without getting geeky, don't worry) to provide a good explanation of safe, yet animated riding.
His explanations are complete and detailed, and may provide a new approach to your riding. Listen to it two or three times!
Highly recommended!

Don’t waste your time
I hate to be so mean but this book was torture to listen to. The author had a great idea and I was hopeful but even though he hit on great topics I really wanted to learn about, he kept talking about what he wanted to talk about instead of actually talking about it. I did listen to the entire thing hoping it would get better and I’d learn something, unfortunately it just never happened.
