From the publishers of Motorcycle Consumer News, Shifting Gears at 50 is a
one-of-a-kind motorcycling manual for returning and late-entry riders,
essentially anyone 40 years old and up who s looking to hit the road on two
wheels. Author Philip Buonpastore, a motorcycle journalist and retired US Air
Force photographer, helps readers gear up to get back on a motorcycle (or get on
one for the first time). 
In Part 1, Becoming a Motorcyclist, Buonpastore discusses the basics of buying
the right bike, gear, and equipment and getting the bike up to speed. The book
continues with a good overview of learning to ride, the importance of taking a
road course, venturing out on the first ride, and extending rides to
long-distance jaunts. Throughout Part 1 are sidebars by riding- safety
instructor and expert Walt Fulton, offering sound advice on safety precautions
and execution for every leg of the new and returning rider s journey. 
The author emphasizes what older riders should be aware of and which factors can
affect their rides. Adding lots of great firsthand advice are humorous and
helpful stories collected by the author and related by returning riders at
various ages, from their late 30s to 60s. 
In Part 2, Buonpastore shares five of his favorite travelogues covering his
long-distance tours around the US, from the American South to the west coasts.
This section is illustrated by over 100 of the author s breathtaking photographs
of the various locations he toured on his bike. 
The foreword to the book is provided by best-selling motorcycle author David
Hough (author of I-5 Press s Proficient Motorcycling and Mastering the Ride).
Hough writes, If you re getting into today s motorcycling at an age your doctor
would describe as middle aged or senior, do you yourself a clever favor and read
Phil s book.
