Motorbikes can give you access to most areas on the farm. Not all motorbikes are the same and not all operators are the same size; some machines are more suited to certain tasks or riders than others. This book helps you get the most out of your bike. It covers safety, pre-start checks, driving in various terrains like slopes, water, mud and sand, as well as loading and transporting, servicing, and care for the environment.
