I have been riding for now over 30 years and have read, along the way, a number of books on the art and lifestyle of being a motorcyclist.
"Let's Ride" is a wonderful "read" in terms of not only sound, street earned advice on becoming and continuing to be a motorcyclist, it is Sonny Barger's continued shaping of his legacy in the world of motorcycles, bikers, and the industry as a whole.
As a veteran rider I enjoyed the book as much for the reminders as anything else. Barger is right. It is about the Ride. Highly recommended for the novice and veteran alike. A great addition to the collection.

. This publication is not about history. This publication is not about philosophy. This publication 'is' about all of the above. This book is a Guide for Riding Motorcycles.
Remember the saying"...Ride hard,Die young,and leave a good looking corpse"? With 'Lets Ride',Sonny gives us a better plan:"Ride Smart, Live Long,and Die from Old Age." Coming from a man that has seen, and experienced just about everything, how can we not take heed.
To quote Sonny," This book will cover the things you need to do to learn to ride a motorcycle, tell you how to buy the right motorcycle, teach you how to be comfortable and safe, and give you advice on what to do once you start riding."(page 17) Sonny begins by "dissecting the beast"( chapter 1). He covers everything from the crankcase to windshields; fuel systems to riding positions. He talks about buying the right motorcycle for you. He stresses the need for proper training. But most of all, He teaches us how to ride safe. He teaches us how to ride for life.
This publication is not a novel. This publication is "Sonny Barger's Guide to Motorcycling" A must read for anybody thinking about becoming a motorcycle enthusiast:a reminder for old school.

Great Advice, Great Experience, Great Read July 13, 2010

This is a tremendous volume of Sonny Barger's experience of motorcycles and motorcycling and the BEST read of any rider training book I've seen. I've read Hough, Hahn, MSF, Parks and many other professional riders' and journalists' rider instruction books and while all are helpful none compare with Barger's narrative style and readability.
Let's Ride is like a pleasant afternoon conversation with a wise rider who has clocked more than 1,000,000 miles in safety; it's an honesty account of riding, straight forward, doesn't preach, fun and gets the job done.
Awesome Book! June 12, 2010

I pre-ordered this book at Amazon, and received it as soon as it came out. Another great book by Mr. Barger. It's good for new riders to experienced ones. Once I got it, couldn't put it down until I finished it. Highly Recommend!

This was a wonderful read. I was laughing before I even finished the preface. Good information given in a direct and entertaining way. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for some motorcycle basics and a good read.
Another wonderful Sonny Barger book. Keep them coming.
