Maximum Control: Mastering Your Heavyweight Bike

As anyone who’s been on one knows, big bikes–Harleys, dressers, tourers, cruisers–handle differently than smaller bikes. They have different centers of gravity; they steer more slowly; they put you in a different riding positions; and riding one–especially riding it well–requires different skills. This book is aimed at helping owners of such motorcycles–bikes with big engines, long wheelbases, and a lot of weight–get the best ride out of them. Maximum Control addresses every aspect of riding–steering, positioning, braking, and carrying a passenger or heavy load. With clear information on differences in equipment–brakes, engine, drive system, even tires–this expert, accessible guide provides everything you need to know to handle your bike like a pro. The outcome will be, as promised, Maximum Control–and the ride of your life.
