The Road to Mastery: The Smart Way to Begin, Continue, or Redirect Your Riding Journey

Greg, AKA Fast Eddie does a great job laying out information that is easy to read and understand. Whether you have already been riding or a new rider, this book is for you and your friends, especially friends that want to start riding.If you have been a rider for awhile, some areas may not pertain like going to endorsement classes and getting your motorcycle license. Perseverance pays so keep reading and absorbing the information in the following chapters.If you already have your endorsement, have purchased your bike and bought head to toe quality gear and you’re impatient, start on page 17 then go back and read the section on quality gear to determine you’ve shopped well.I enjoyed that it’s a lot on concise information in a short read. This allows you to go back and reference chapters to let the information sync in, especially the practice chapter (Chapter 4) and when you are ready to continue advance courses to become a precise rider, revisit Chapter 5.To put some reference, I’m 57 y/o female getting back into riding after a pretty long hiatus of being in charge of the handlebars. I’m so glad my “wind sister” introduced me back into riding and I found Greg as a mentor. His mentorship, practice sessions and both his books; MotoJitsu and Road to Mastery are excellent candidates to read and to pick up several copies to give away to others both getting started and advanced riders. Starting on the road to Mastery sure bears the hell out of learning by hard knocks.I highly recommend. Stay safe out there.

Keep it up Widmar! I am new to riding and took the basic course. There was a guy in there who had been riding for 20 years. After a bad wreck is wife forced him to attend to learn to ride better. As you say in your book some people have been doing it wrong for a long time. He stated he learned so much and wished he had been taking courses all these years. Seeing that showed me staying freah with skills is important and seeking new skills is critical. Always more to learn. Thank you for the motivation and emphasis to gear up fully, everytime. It shocks people when you wear all your gear, all the time! It's the right thing to do as is practicing weekly. Makes me feel more comfortable and more capable. Keep up the great work and I very much appreciate the encouragement your books provide. Take care.

Great book, especially for beginners, because it answers the most common questions that every rider faces when they take up motorcycling. Fast Eddie sheds light on many misconceptions that are perpetuated in our culture and in about an hour read the book addresses motorcycle training, gear, and motorcycle selection among other topics such as having the proper mindset.Check out "MotoJitsu Master Riding Program" for illustrations of what drills to practice or support Fast Eddie on YouTube to gain access to an abundance of videos and to get your questions answered from the man himself. Fast Eddie has inspired me and many others to take advanced courses and to "shut up and practice" which has undeniably made me an exponentially better rider than if I had not stumbled across his YouTube page a year ago. Furthermore, the fact that Fast Eddie is not motivated by economic gains only further validates his vision to change our culture by making better and safer riders. Challenge yourself and pick up a copy!

Awesome syllabus in a conversational tone that will walk you from 'What is a motorcycle?' clear through what to look for in your first bike, and what to look for in safety classes.

Can learn everything here by just watching YouTube.

I gave the book four stars but I find the information in the book, and the overall message of the author, to be really helpful and informative. The Motojitsu You Tube channel is very much worth subscribing to and highly recommended.This author, Greg Widmar, is a great illustrator, as evidenced by the content on his video. I was disappointed that this book was largely text, with very little pictures or drawings. Greg could definitely add color and volume to his books with his great artistry.

This book would have been great to read before I got my license and bought my first bike. For sure I didn't take any of the common sense recommendations in this book into consideration, instead relying on friends to guide me to my first bike. Although I loved it, it was super heavy, powerful, and I was afraid of dropping it or it falling on me. I also made other mistakes this book addresses, like about gear. Although the book (more of a booklet really) is a quick and easy read it includes great info. I'm passing it along to another friend who is thinking about taking the safety course so hopefully they get off to a better start and don't waste time and money like I did.

I found Greg through his YouTube (also known as Fast Eddie), where he pumps out regular content. That led me to the Motojitsu program he created, and to his Patreon and Discord pages where he is is building up a community. I bought this book and his Master Riding Program as well.This book is an easy read through Greg’s methodology and is very congruent with the rest of his teachings. I found it to be a great refresher and overview; wear full gear, set an example, practice regularly, and treat riding as a life-long skill.A simple book, yet a powerful message that is well encapsulated here.

New to two wheels three months ago, now I'm helping life time riding veteran. If you think you know it all, please don't ride near me. Fast Eddie has done all the work for you. See the videos, read his books, read the books he suggests, take the schools and get out and practice - every - time - you - ride! Practice until failure is harder than success. Make it second nature and ride long.

If you are considering riding a motorbike, the first step is to read this book. Greg is a experienced and highly sought after motorbike instructor with a wealth of information for new riders and experienced riders alike. Highly recommend.

There is a follow up book to this one that should be read by motorcyclists of all stripes. It is call MotoJitsu by the same author. It is full of practice techniques, that are very useful. Michael

Very short book with the author opinion, on riding motorcycles.

You can read it in a couple of hours. You will be able to practice the riding principles for the rest of your life.Many say the Chinese symbols for Kung Fu are "time and effort ". This program may lead you to achieve "Kung Fu" in motorcycle riding. 🏍
