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.

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.

Mostly about trusting electronics to save you.

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!

The audiobook references lots of pictures on the actual book, but there is no PDF included, meaning that we cannot follow through and see the pictures.

Where is the PDF???
