Scooter Notes[edit]
"Scooter Note" sidebars highlight scooter-specific information that differs from motorcycle-specific content in the book.
Motophors[edit]
"Motophor" sidebars offer what the author calls "...paralells between riding well and living well."

Reception[edit]
"For the completely uninitiated prospective motorcyclist or scooter rider, Steve Krugman’s The Craft & Art of Motorcycling from First Ride to the Road Ahead is a great book to consider required reading. But the truth is, even long-time riders can learn a few things from this unique resource. Clearly written and abundantly illustrated, it is fun to read while being deeply informative without getting the reader lost in technical detail." -Ultimate Motorcycling[3]
"Author and private motorcycle-riding instructor, Steve Krugman, has written a practical, well researched--and cleverly illustrated--new book aimed at removing much of the myth and mystery surrounding proficient motorcycle riding." -Cafe Racer Magazine[2]
