I’ve been riding for 50 years and I’m still learning, there’s always something to learn.

Robert Esposito

After a 35 year hiatus, I decided to return to riding motorcycles. Internet searches for instructional material provided a vast array of choices for my questions. MCRider was one that coming up with lessons for the topics I was interested in. The videos on YouTube were extremely helpful in rebuilding my confidence and skill level. I was aware there was a forum for quite some time before joining and am glad I took the plunge. The depth of knowledge from the membership, as well as the willingness to answer questions and offer guidance cannot be overstated. I purchased some practice cones and used the Field Guide exercises to hone my riding skills and my practice sessions are now something I look forward to.

Perhaps the most beneficial parts of the forum are the discussions pertaining to safe riding and rider awareness. One of the forum members made a comment to the effect of ” A superior rider uses his superior judgment to avoid situations which require the use of his superior skill.” That statement stays in the forefront of my mind and I believe it helps make me a better/safer rider. I am much more aware of the potential dangers due to reading the discussions on the forum and it has helped increase my enjoyment of being on 2 wheels again.

MCrider is the ultimate source for motorcycle road strategy and safety education. It is a must have for riders at any level.

The “MCrider-Experience” is a motorcyclist’s dream come true…

I like to call it the Double “A” and the Triple “F” way to learn…

Double “A” being “Advice & Answers” for all levels of motorcyclist’s…

And the infamous Triple “F” which MCrider owns alone on the internet… (nice one Kevin)

The “Forums”… The “Field-Guide”… and The “Friday Video’s”… aka… The Triple “F” Strategy…

The “Forums” give you (the rider), and your situation, a voice to be heard and you are co-joined by many others with like-minded concerns/observations in a most congenial environment like nothing I have seen online… advice and answers are abounding here and given without reserve…

The “Field-Guide” is your pocket pen protector you can take to your parking-lot practice sessions to assist you with your “practice with a purpose” skill and strategy continual learning endeavors…

Saved the best for last…

The “Friday Videos” produced and directed by Kevin Morris, are the best of the best topics an aspiring or a veteran motorcyclist can hope for… they are on point… easy to understand… pleasant to watch (Kevin is personality plus)… very informative… always enjoyable and something I have treasured for the past 2.5 years… certainly makes my Friday a special treat-day and always entertaining…

Combine the Triple “F” Strategy with the Double “A” Salsa and you have what we call here in southwestern USA…

“The whole Enchilada” – Amigos and Amigas…

The “MCrider Experience” is quite simply the best you will find anywhere for your motorcycling lifelong-learning enjoyment and has the best people/riders from around the world participating…

I currently have 911 consecutive days here at the MCrider Experience and the good Lord willing will have another 911 (cool number) as we move forward under Kevin’s tutelage…

I can honestly attest to the FACT that MCrider has changed my life for the better in so many ways…

Thanks Kevin… You da Man Dude…

I am a returning rider after twenty years. As I discovered MCRider, wisdom began to wash over me very quickly. I was truly amazed at how quickly I began to learn and refine my rider skills to become a rider that was not only safer, but better. The forum is a gold mine of discussion with intelligent conversation and no distasteful garbage. Tying that together with access to the Field Guide to help practice the skills I learn about; I have found that my MCRider membership is paying dividends in my motorcycle happy factor!

The information and advice I am able to access on this site…to me absolutely LIFE SAVING…

The McRider videos and forum have underlined that practicing strategies and techniques to reduce close calls and keep the rubber side down is essential and is keeping me out of trouble. Thanks, Kevin, and keep ‘em coming!

MCRider will change and possibly save your motorcycling life.

After a 15 yr break I decided to get back into riding, I’d never had formal instruction (dirt bikes as a kid) and it showed when I rode with my wife, who I had insisted get training. She was more technically proficient than I was because she had only learned the right way. I started watching videos and some were good some weren’t but when I found Kevin’s MCRider videos I knew I’d found the series of instruction I needed.

Within a few weeks of practicing skills from his YouTube channel, I decided I really wanted to support what he was doing and I became a Member of MC Rider and that unlocked a whole additional resource. If you're looking to improve your motorcycling skills in an extremely supportive community, you found the place.

Hey Kevin. I've learned so much from your Videos ! I'm a middle aged man, returning to Cycling, after a 25 yr absence. Your videos are SO informative.
