Why do we ride a motorcycle? Something a little different this week as I share an important lesson about riding a motorcycle that I learned from my kids.

Kevin’s videos and sage advise is very helpful and reinforces the right things to do and what not to do. I especially like his way of teaching, a little laid back but always worth listening to. Like he says, the most important “nut on the bike is the one attached to the handle bars”, be sure it’s on tight and right.

You provide well-made videos, instruction, and strategies for us all to become great and safe riders. I have been riding street bikes since 1978 and I enjoy your videos and I just keep on learning from you, thanks!

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.

This winter my wife purchased me a newer to me bike, she knew I just never really enjoyed the touring bike especially when we were both on it. She mentioned if I would get her a bike she would love to learn to ride. So we purchased her a bike. I told her she had to take the MSF basic course. I wanted her to have a head start before we got to class end of June. The field guide has been the perfect tool we had spent about 4 hours in parking lot before I couldn’t contain her anymore and she wanted on street. Thank you again for the field guide it has improved my riding and helped her get a great start. We have a cool routine where we do some parking lot field guide maneuvers and then do a ride. Thanks for all you do Kevin.

I am 73, and have been riding for 60 yrs. Being a part of this group allows me to continue learning safety and developing the skills to continue riding. Thank you for everyone sharing your experience and especially Kevin for providing a platform for all of us to share.

This is the first videos I’ve seen from him. As an accomplished law enforcement motor instructor, he knows what he’s talking about. I would refer people to his page.

I have been an MCRider subscriber and member for about two years. I was a returning rider and just purchased a used Harley Davidson Street Glide. When I came across the MCRider videos on YouTube. Your video instructions and lessons have made me a better rider and a safer rider!
