Motorcycle Dynamics: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Motorcycle Dynamics" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The book presents the theory of motorcycle dynamics. It is a technical book for the engineer, student, or technically/mathematically inclined motorcycle enthusiast. Motorcycle Dynamics offers a wealth of information compiled from the most up-to-date research into the behavior and performance of motorcycles. The structure of the book and abundant graphs assist in understanding an exceptionally complicated subject. The book presents a large number of graphs and figures that make the understanding easy.
