David L. Hough (born 1937) is an American writer on motorcycle rider safety, education and training. He has been, or currently is a columnist for Motorcycle Consumer News, Sound RIDER! and BMW Owners News magazines, and has several published books. He has won the Motorcycle Safety Foundation's Excellence in Motorcycle Journalism award twice.[1]
He has also designed a rider skills course for sidecar riders.[2] Hough has been called "a premier motorcycling journalist"[3][4][5] and the author of "one of the most widely respected books on safe street riding."[6] In the media he is frequently called upon to provide expert commentary on motorcycling issues, and his work is on the recommended reading lists of many other motorcycling writers.
Hough was inducted to the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in December 2009 for his work as a motorcycle journalist and riding safety books that "should be a mandatory read for every motorcyclist, from novice to expert."[7][8]
Motorcycling recommended reading lists that include David Hough's books.
As soon as I did that I remembered David Hough's admonitions in MCN about "edge traps" and knew I was stuck in the right lane for the length of the repaving project.
"Proficient Motorcycling" is very much geared to the average rider. David Hough is well-known in the motorcycling community as a premier motorcycle journalist, with many decades of street riding under his belt. "Proficient Motorcycling" deals with the dangerous scenarios that many deal with in their daily commute. Hough provides real strategies for staying alive on the street, and I strongly suggest that all riders read his book.
David Hough, author of two books on proficient motorcycling, says older bikers sometimes outsmart themselves.
David L. Hough (pronounced "huff") approaches this book with a long list of credentials. He's not only a long-term rider and commuter, but also has written a monthly skills column for Motorcycle Consumer News and two previous books on proficient motorcycling
David L. Hough (Proficient Motorcycling) is a two-time winner of the National Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s award for “Excellence in Motorcycle Safety Journalism.” He wrote a column called “Proficient Motorcycling” in Motorcycle Consumer News for 20 years. His column is often cited by rider training professionals as the best single source of riding tips and advice ever written for both the novice and veteran rider. David is an artist, photographer, riding instructor, and world traveler, and he makes his home in Port Angeles, Washington.
But more importantly, said motorcycle journalist David Hough, riders need to ride smarter and safer. Hough estimates he's ridden a motorcycle more than a million miles across the world and around his home in Agnew. For 16 years he wrote the "Proficient Motorcycling" column for Motorcycle Consumer News. In 2000 he published a compendium of his columns under the same name. Hough has studied collision and fatality statistics from the federal government, the Motorcycle Safety Foundation and the insurance industry
David Hough, author of Proficient Motorcycling, one of the most widely respected books on safe street riding, takes an entirely different view. He says you should brake for every turn short of a freeway sweeper. Why? To get in the habit, says Hough.
