This week on MCrider we look at 3 high-risk riding traps on a motorcycle. Riding a motorcycle does not have to be as risky as it is for some riders. Using a good road strategy you can greatly reduce the risks you encounter on the road.

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 my go-to platform to continue mastering the art and craft of riding. His focus on skills and strategy, both mental and physical, will benefit anyone, from those just starting out on their first ride to those with miles under their feet.

The first year I had my Harley I dropped it two times when stopping at an intersection. You pointed out that I was turning the handlebars and hitting the front brake and after practicing your stop and go technics I no longer have trouble in that area. I also have used the brake and escape technic when confronted with a pick-up truck pulling a trailer pulled out in front of me and through practicing in a parking lot, it just became second nature and I avoided what could have been a really bad situation! Thanks for all the great knowledge and I will be watching anything that you will be putting on YouTube! I know that I have a long way to go but I am definitely a better rider since I began to do your drills!

I am extremely grateful for your channel. I got my first bike two years ago at 36 years old and started watching your channel even before buying it to begin preparing. Your tips and techniques have been invaluable to my riding development and I’m still watching and reviewing them quite regularly. I appreciate your calm, conservative style and approach to riding. Your perspective in this video is very needed. Keep up the excellent work. God bless!

“MCrider is simply the best online resource for motorcyclists striving for excellence in their riding skills and strategy. The forum community has depth and diversity of experience that expresses humility and wisdom not often found on the internet. I often refer to MCrider training concepts with my own students.”
