There are a lot of great books out there to read and learn from that will help any rider (new or experienced) ride better.

Total Motorcycle has a great free Beginners Guide to Motorcycling Handbook: http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/school.htm that I would hope all new riders will take the time to read.

For books, I suggest:

Proficient Motorcycling by David L. Hough. - I've read it twice now and keep learning new things as I read it. Great for all riders.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Motorcycles - Another great guide, don't let the title fool you. It is full of good stuff to read and learn.

Does anyone else have some good book suggestions?

I have these 2 books, and I think thay are GREAT! Pages are getting a little dog-eared, too.

I picked up a copy of "The Complete Idiots...." last night. It's amazingly easy to read, humorous, but also realistic and informative.

My friend tells me that "Proficient Motorcycling" makes for an excellent post MSF course.
