THE BOOK

Steve Krugman’s new book, The Craft & Art of Motorcycling from First Ride to the Road Ahead, is an amazingly comprehensive textbook in content. It is also a disarmingly imaginative book in presentation. It deals with the serious subject of how to ride motorcycles and scooters safely and strategically while presenting its excellent content in a relaxed, inviting way. Clearly written and abundantly illustrated, it is fun to read while being deeply informative without getting the reader lost in technical detail.

Steve Krugman had written a practical, well-researched—and cleverly illustrated—new book aimed at removing much of the myth and mystery surrounding proficient motorcycle riding.

You'll feel Steve Krugman's long experience as an instructor to demanding clients in the way he pampers you, the reader-student, with motorcycle-glove treatment: clear answers to exactly the questions you're about to ask. The guy knows so much and expresses it so well, aided by superb illustrations that are abundantly useful. (You'll appreciate that, if you've ever seen one of those motorcycling books with low-res photos and incomprehensible diagrams.)

This book shares the concepts and perspectives that would take the average rider over a decade to learn. This book is comprehensive. It shares everything you need to feel confident and safe while riding. Finally, a book on riding that's as enjoyable to read as riding itself.

Steve is a master teacher with an old soul and deep wisdom. It is a gift to all of us that he has finally distilled his knowledge into “The Craft & Art of Motorcycling.” So beautifully crafted that it takes pride of place on my coffee table. Every element of this book, from the prose to the illustrations, serves a purpose. I highly recommend it.

Great illustrations with detailed text on what you need to know when riding for your first time, or thousandth time!

A really beautiful and well-illustrated guidebook. Easy to understand and looks great on my coffee table!

Fun to read. Easy to grasp. The writing and illustrations set a smart, energetic, and nostalgic vibe—rock & roll with a bit of Hollywood (In the forward, Casey Affleck even says Steve's course likely saved his life!). Motorcycle credibility and a respectful nod to scooters too.

Steve taught me how to ride about 12 years ago. His teaching methods are awesome and this book is a perfect complement to his training class. But even if you are not lucky enough to be in L.A. to learn from the man personally, I would seriously considering picking up a copy of this book. As dramatic as it sounds, it could literally save your life. Not to mention the illustrations alone make it worth checking out. Top notch stuff.
