Description
Do You Dream of Riding a Motorcycle?
The Craft and Art of Motorcycling will help make your dream a reality—from your first ride to the road ahead.
Hollywood’s go-to riding guru, Steve Krugman, has trained thousands of riders including high-profile actors, musicians, and athletes. The Craft and Art of Motorcycling is based on his years of experience developing unique, effective, and proven riding methods.
In clear, relaxed language, Krugman offers complete understanding of the bike itself and riding fundamentals (the Craft), with concepts, strategies, and insights that lead to mastery on the road (the Art).
Key topics include:
- Motorcycle controls and operation
- Fundamental skills—starting, stopping, shifting, and turning
- Real-world cornering technique
- Low-speed control and emergency maneuvers
- Street- and road-riding strategies
- Managing riding conditions and the elements
- Selecting gear and buying your first bike
The Craft and Art of Motorcycling is an accessible and comprehensive introduction to motorcycle and scooter riding—simply explained and beautifully illustrated throughout—and provides an essential foundation for any rider, whether an aspiring novice, rusty returnee, or weathered road-veteran.

I’m not a motorcyclist, and have only ridden one once a very long time ago. But they have always intrigued me. Their open air experience and their sleek looks. But life experience has taught me they can be dangerous too. This book was an eye opener as to the real ‘craft and skill’ needed to start riding, to be safe and to enjoy the experience. The book has slightly retro artwork that I found fascinating. I would read the book just for that alone. Will I do more now I’ve enjoyed reading this comprehensively detailed book? Maybe, but if I do I will certainly be much better prepared. Thank you to Motorbooks Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC. The views expressed are all mine.
