MotoAutostrada.pl - Ogólnopolskie Stowarzysznie Motocyklistów

Emil Samson, członek naszego stowarzyszenia właśnie wydał książkę "Understanding motorcyclists” based on „Pilot MotoSurvey 2011/2012”. Jest to opracowanie badań pilotażowych jakie Emil prowadził jeszcze jako student na ponad 200 motocyklistach (w tym motocyklistki:). Jak Emil wyliczył, żeby badania nie były pilotażowe potrzebne jest prawie 17 000 osób jeżdzących motocyklami.

Książka na razie jest tylko w języku Angielskim, ale Emil postara się przetłumaczyć jej część w ciągu przyszłego roku, ale biorąc pod uwagę, że napisanie tej zajęło mu 5 lat, możemy trochę poczekać;) Kawałki przetłumaczonej książki przy dobrych wiatrach ukażą się na różnych portalach. Jak Emil sam mówi "mam masę pracy i kilka projektów do skończenia (takich hobbistyczych) oraz te za które mam kasę do tego potrzebuję też trochę moto-rozrywki w życiu" i to w prosty sposób tłumaczy dlaczego jeszcze nie ma polskiej wersji oraz czemu opracowanie zajęło, aż 5 lat.

Dla głodnych wiedzy poniżej spis treści książki.
