Center Conway, NH, October 2008-Whether you're getting ready for an afternoon off-road ride, a weekend trip on nearby back-country trails, or an adventure riding vacation in some far-off land, The Essential Guide to Dual Sport Motorcycling will help motorcycling enthusiasts get the most out of this popular sport. Seasoned rider Carl Adams lays out all you need to buy, ride, and enjoy the world's most versatile motorcycles. As Malcolm Smith says in the book's foreword, " . . . I found that The Essential Guide to Dual Sport Motorcycling is packed with useful information, presented skillfully, and illustrated abundantly . . .[It] conveys the fun of the sport without trivializing the need to learn to do it properly."
Organized into four sections, the book covers motorcycle selection, setup, riding skills, and specialized activities such as exploring remote areas, organized rides, and touring. Several chapters include exercises designed to improve your riding technique and impart new skills. More than 250 full-color photographs illustrate the many options for gear, clothing, and aftermarket accessories that can add comfort, safety, and convenience to any motorcycle adventure.
Whatever your riding level, this book will give you a broader perspective of the dual sport experience through which you can begin your journey to better motorcycle adventures. New riders will benefit from the clear explanations of dual sport gear, accessories, and techniques, while experienced riders coming to dual sport from a street riding background will find chapters covering advanced dirt riding skills, GPS navigation, and preparing for multi-day trips. Adams explains all terms and describes riding techniques in detail.
Carl Adams has been riding dual sport motorcycles for more than 45 years, including a period of enduro racing in the '70s. More recently, he has served as an officer of an active dual sport riding club in Reno, Nevada. This book grew out of a training program Adams developed for club members who wanted to improve their riding skills and learn more about the sport. The author's love of dual sporting and the knowledge he has gained through long experience shine through every chapter of this helpful book.
