Why is this book and course written by the Anonymous Rider? This question is answered in the first few pages of the book, so I won’t go into details here but you can read the first couple of chapters for free by clicking the link below.
Although what I will tell you about myself is that I started road riding in the early ’90s. My idea was to ride sunny Sundays only but it didn’t take long for bikes to consume my life. Since then, I have ridden for fun, I have commuted to work daily for most of that time, I’ve ridden dirt bikes, I’ve done long-distance holidays on bikes, I’ve road raced, I’ve ridden all types of bikes, fast, slow, big, small, new, old and plenty of scooters as well. I don’t care what it is, if it’s got two wheels and an engine, I’ll ride it!
Since getting out of corporate world in the early 2000s, I have since dedicated my life to being a full-time professional motorcycle trainer.
When I started training motorcyclists, I thought I knew a bit about bikes. I’d done all that riding. I thought I knew it all, but I knew nothing about the art of riding a motorcycle. What follows is what I have learnt since, by training I don’t know how many thousands of people to ride or be better riders and by watching literally thousands of people crash or talk about crashes, I think I have a pretty good idea what not to do and just why people are falling off bikes. So, armed with all this information and knowing the sort of misguided information I was given when I started riding and some of the techniques currently being taught, I started to work on some better ways to do simple skills like turning and braking.
I can certainly ride well but I’m humble enough to know that there are faster riders out there than me but what I have done is dedicated over 3 decades of my life to thinking about safe riding practices and I can tell you, you don’t need to an ultra-conservative rider to achieve this. You can still have fun riding your bike like it was designed to be ridden but do it safely. I’ve done literally hundreds of thousands of miles on bikes and touch wood I’ve never crashed one on the road, so it can be done! In saying that I have hit the ground on the track and on the dirt so I can tell you it hurts! That’s why I do my best to avoid it at all costs.
My 20 plus years as a professional motorcycle trainer has allowed me plenty of time to try different techniques for both riding skills and the explanation of these concepts. Therefore, I believe I can communicate these complex skills in an easy-to-understand format. So, what are you waiting for, you can have all these tips and tricks for less than a tank of gas!
