This book teaches new riders how to become confident and safe on
the road. It's the first book which arms beginners with the
knowledge to choose an excellent bike training school, to monitor
their own training, and to start riding with a full complement of
real-world survival skills. It also covers post-test improvement,
the causes of the most common accidents (written by a police
accident investigator), and advice on getting back into biking.
Whether you are about to do your CBT, have trained on a direct
access course, learned over the course of a few months - or if it
has been a long time since you have regularly ridden a motorcyle,
this book will guide through the techniques and knowledge you need
to be a safe and confident rider.
Jack Sanders is shy a man lost in his own world; a world made up of
the stories he creates about those around him. Every evening Jack
visits his favorite Itallian restaurant for dinner and adventure.
The adventure comes courtesy of each of the other unsuspecting
diners, who while dinning, supply Jack with world adventures,
crimes of passion and even his own love life.
Leprechauns, fairies, enchanted wells, saints, sinners, beautiful
children, and the heart and soul of the Gael are the main players
on this tour down a river that is so much more than just a
sentimental journey. The Author has captured the wit, wisdom, and
will to triumph in this most unique collection of prose, poetry,
stories, myths, legends, and modern day shenanigans that is Irish
to the bone and Gaelic to the heart. The Breagagh Saga is a
timeless journey through the land of his childhood. His words will
evoke tears of sorrow for tragedy and tears of laughter for the joy
of a boyhood lived out in a wonderland where the salmon is the
wisest fish in the river and Leprechauns search for Lilliput women
for their brides. Fantasy and reality are blended together so
artfully that it is difficult at times to know where one begins and
the other ends. You will be captivated by the stories told by your
tour guides, Bags and Aeroplane, as they lead you along this
wonderful river that runs through Kilkenny. They will teach you of
the ancient ones and bring you forward into the modern reality of
an international airport brought to its knees by an invasion of
Leprechauns. It is filled with mischief, laughter, tenderness,
human kindness, corruption, cruelty, and all those qualities that
make up mankind. This delightfully entertaining work fits into no
genre except that of being totally Irish. Have a box of tissue near
by as you read for you are sure to shed a bucket full of tears in
laughter and in sorrow as you follow your guides down this
enchanted river.
