Stayin' Safe: The Art and Science of Riding Really Well

A master teacher, Grodsky was constantly learning from his students, always striving to find the best way to lead riders toward mastery of their two-wheeled vehicles. Many of his columns focus on helping riders develop specific skills (complete with practice exercises), while others deal with the riding environment and riders' mental processes.

While it is packed with information useful to both novice and experienced motorcyclists, this book is not structured as a how-to guide to motorcycle proficiency. Rather, it is a collection of thoughtful essays to be read and savored individually. Readers will be rewarded by the beautifully written stories of a great motorcycle riding instructor who has left his mark on a generation of grateful riders.

About the Author

Larry Grodsky's passion for motorcycling began in college and eventually led him to become an instructor with the Pennsylvania Motorcycle Safety Foundation. In 1988 his freelance writing landed him a job as Safety Editor with Rider magazine, for which he wrote more than 200 monthly columns.

As a motorcycling riding instructor, he moved on from MSF to found his own program, Stayin' Safe Motorcycle Training, which uses road rides (rather than training ranges) to better teach the riding skills needed in real-world situations.
