Download or read book Riding in the Zone written by Ken Condon and published by Motorbooks. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Riding motorcycles is fun, but author Ken Condon maintains that there is a state of consciousness to be achieved beyond the simple pleasure of riding down the road. Riding in the Zone helps riders find that state of being. It's the experience of being physically and mentally present in the moment, where every sense is sharply attuned to the ride. Your mind becomes silent to the chatter of daily life, and everyday problems seem to dissolve. You feel a deeper appreciation for life. Your body responds to this state of being with precise, fluid movements, you feel in balance, your muscles are relaxed, and it seems as though every input you make is an expression of mastery. This is "the Zone." Condon identifies all of the factors that affect entering the Zone and addresses each one individually, from the development of awareness and mental skills to mastering physical control of the motorcycle. At the end of each chapter are drills designed to transform the book's ideas into solid, practical riding skills. Riding in the Zone takes riders to the next level in their skill set.
Download or read book New Motorcycle Riders written by Andrew Abney and published by Andrew Abney. This book was released on 2024-07-12 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Motorcycle Riders handbook "Motorcycling for Beginners" is an easy to use guide for anyone looking to learn to ride a motorcycle or to brush up on their motorcycling skills. It covers the basic concepts needed to ride a motorcycle.in an easy to read format. With so much advice and opinions out there it can be overwhelming for new riders to decipher what they should be learning and concentrating on first. This beginner’s handbook is an easy to use guide for anyone looking to learn how to ride motorcycles the right way, from the beginning. With over forty years of motorcycling experience I have by far seen my fair share of mistakes that motorcyclists, including myself, have made. One of the biggest mistakes I see is people trying to learn too fast or trying to learn things that they don’t need to know in their early stages of riding. People often forget to begin at the beginning. A child doesn’t walk first they crawl. The same thing goes for speech. A child starts out making sounds before they begin to formulate words. A lot of this is sometimes caused by people who are trying to be helpful by giving advice but are just confusing and scaring new riders unnecessarily. Make no mistake, motorcycling has its dangers just like anything else in life, but continual training will help you to deal with whatever may come your way. I created New Motorcycle Riders as an alternate source of learning for motorcyclists to help them learn the things that are not taught in classrooms. Motorcycle courses are designed to teach you the basics, but your real-world experience is going to come when you hit the streets. Motorcycling is a wonderful feeling so much that I couldn’t imagine not doing it. When I started riding things were very different. There was no formal training and what you learned was limited to those who you were around. Some of the terms that are used today weren’t used back then even though many of the same principles they speak of today were implemented then. Modern technology has made things that were impossible yesterday very possible today. Not only have motorcycles progressed, but motorcycle riders have too. New Motorcycle Riders bridges the gap between riders from all over the world, to help riders share information and experiences with others that could be beneficial to them. We have one of the most diverse group of motorcyclists anywhere. After reading this handbook I am certain you will recognize the value of the material and will have a clearer picture of how to properly train to be a motorcycle rider. Enjoy the book and safe travels.

Download or read book Riding Man written by Mark Gardiner and published by . This book was released on 2012-07-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 100 years, the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy races have been the world's most dangerous organized sporting event. As one of thirty thousand fans who attended the annual spectacle, Mark Gardiner harbored no illusions about his own skill or bravery. He was, however, an avid motorcyclist for whom the race represented a boyhood dream. He went home, quit his job, sold everything he owned, and returned to the Island to race there himself. Riding Man is the account of an Everyman, struggling to qualify for -- and survive -- the TT races. If you're a dreamer, the lesson in this book is that the pursuit of any worthwhile goal involves risks, rewards and, almost inevitably some regrets. If you're not a dreamer, the lesson is more important: the deepest regrets are always over risks not taken.
