It took only a few seconds of distraction to cause Ed to approach the intersection too fast. It took only a few seconds for the drunk to enter the same intersection, running the red light in the process. Ed would live but would never walk again. The information in this book will teach you to avoid such distractions. Using the same awareness technique taught in many law enforcement academies' self-defense schools to build high levels of alertness, this information may save your life.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 49
“Well, now I’m committed,” he thought to himself after telling a national TV game show audience that he wanted to ride a motorcycle to Mongolia with his winnings. He felt the fear that commitment always induced in him; he was hoping they might have edited that bit out. Commitments are something he tried to get as far away from as possible, the only other constants in his life being twenty-five years of financial prudence, travel and motorcycle obsession.So there he was, committed to going very, very far on a motorcycle with his meager prize money. Consequently, he spent a winter on eBay and a spring in the garage preparing his $1000 KLR 650 for an uncertain life on the road.

Breakdowns, revolutions, war, a spell in prison, and a Californian commune were all part of his experience, which was colored variously by utter despair and unimaginable joy. He was treated as a spy, a god, a welcome stranger and a curiosity

Unfortunately, very little information.
I expected and accepted that this would be a nitch book about a very specific type of motorcycling. Even in this nitch i found that it rarely went above common sense advice. I'm loosely paraphrasing but "Go slower, don't ride in super heavy rain, don't take corners too fast." is the kind of advice offered. I'm not even a motorcycle rider yet and feel this was below my experience level. I wanted to like this book but feel it's not worth paying for. Unfortunately if it had been a blog or something I wouldn't have made it more than a handful of paragraphs I don't think. Sorry Kit!
