This best-selling book is also ?#1 book in motorcycle safety” (Nielsen BookScan) and essential reading for all motorcyclists regardless of their years of experience. Author David L. Hough, a revered motorcycle author, columnist, and riding-safety consultant, lays out a clear course for all riders who want to sharpen their handling skills and improve their rides. This second edition, expanded and now in full color, offers new riders and road warriors the exact kind of advice they need to be prepared for anything when on the road, how to avoid accidents, and how to handle the unexpected. Hough, who began motorcycling in the 1960s, tackles every imaginable topic?from the mechanics of the bike, selection of the right-sized bike, and basic riding skills to night riding, group outings, and advanced survival tactics. In the chapter called ?Motorcycle Dynamics,” Hough spells out the equipment needed and basic skills required to control a bike, and specifically keeping the rider’s safety and ability to avoid potentially injurious or fatal crashes. The author is outspoken and direct when it comes to safety, and he emphasizes the importance of the rider’s braking abilities and spells out how to improve them. The chapter offers six tried-and-true techniques for quick-stop tactics, critical for every rider to understand and master. He also addresses other vital skills that riders need to evaluate and improve, such as turning, maintaining balance and stability, and steering. He defines, compares, and analyzes the ins and outs of steering and control: direct steering, countersteering, push steering, out-tracking, coning, u-turns, and directional control. The chapter called ?Cornering Habits” is a virtual master class in acceleration, deceleration, use of weight, throttle, leaning, and handling challenging terrain. Hough’s skill as a photographer and illustrator adds a graphic element to his books that leads to immediate understanding of the concepts he explains. The detail offered in each section of the book can only come from decades on the road, and the author is the consummate instructor, assigning homework to the readers in the form of exercises to practice and improve specific techniques that he outlines and illustrates in the text. Any rider who would venture out on the road without David Hough’s voice in his head takes an unnecessary risk with his own life.Proficient Motorcycling takes riders from long, snaking country roads right into the traffic of the big city, and Hough offers the best advice for riders dealing with the most challenging conditions, whether it’s road construction, snap-jawed intersections, skateboarders, or suddenly slippery road surfaces. A critical section of the book offers riders advice on how to deal with automobiles, including aggressive car drivers, oblivious SUV drivers, or ?blind” truck drivers. The book offers the kind of first-hand experience that can literally save riders’ lives, as illustrated in the chapters ?Booby Traps” and ?Special Situations,” which offer evasive tactics and advice to avoid and handle everything from slick surfaces, curbs, and construction plates to ferocious dogs, hazardous wildlife, and difficult weather conditions. The final chapter of the book, ?Sharing the Ride,” is geared toward experienced riders who travel together in groups or who travel with a second passenger on the bike. Topics covered are formation, packing for trips, communication between riders, sidecars, trikes, and more.The book concludes with a resources section of organizations, training schools, educational tools, and websites; a glossary of 80+ terms; and a complete index.Shipping Notes

Cute toy for small dogs
Color: Orange & Orange
The toys are cute and well priced. The rope is sturdy but the fabric areas are easily ripped. I had to throw them out after my 5 mo puppy Boston terrier ripped it with 15 minutes… oh well!

Much sturdier than it seems!
I have a Lab/Pyrenees mix which is a serial toy defluffer. I truly believed these would be in the garbage by the end of a day or 2. Yes the squeakers are in the land of unnamed squeaker graves, but the actual pockets and Velcro lasting like a champ! It takes him a few minutes to unroll them and get the treats out of the pockets. When he gets the late night energy boosts I fill them up and it gets him calm for bed. He will bring them to me if he wants to search for the treats. One of our favorite things. Plus, they are adorable. Total tail wagger!

Puppy loves it!
Style: Turtle
This turtle is adorable!
My puppy absolutely loves it! It keeps her entertained for a while which is a godsend when potty training, and when I’m working from home. The pockets an are big enough to can stuff them full of tons of kibble or treats. She has so much fun playing with & pulling it apart and getting to the good stuff inside and the crinkly noise is a bonus for her as well. It definitely holding up.

Good value, fun play. Poor strings
Style: Monster
This turned out to be one of my Doberman puppy's favorite toys. He loves it and takes it everywhere. I didn't expect much, but the moment it came out of the box he loved it. The colors are still bright after a month of being knawed and chewed on. He loves playing tug a war with it, though the strings are not standing up to well to that. There are three of them, so he has choices. Pluse, he has an extra when missing one.
I think they are wonderfully well made and shaped well to fit for him to chew on. He hasn't torn any stuffing out of it and tears either despite his daily rough play. It is fun watching for seeing him attack those poor little guys.
The strings are only issue. It it slowly coming off in pieces. They are still hanging on, but dying a slow death. Pieces are being found all over the place. I keep a eye to try to make sure he isn't swallowing any.
I, also love the cute designs. The three different ones are so cute I don't have a favorite and neither does my puppy.
He will play with it for a while, not just tug a war. He likes the low low sounding squeaker. Low and now loud and annoying. The materials have a nice smooth feeling and no rough material. I don't mind holding on to it for tug a war or to throw it. It is easy to throw for him. Light but enough weight to send it though the air.
Great value fore the price and the amount of three. I would just take the strings off. They could possibly be a danger hazard.
Overall, I am glad I bought and a good value.
