This is the Reddit thread from the former motorcycle thief/chop shop owner. It is a long read but there is a lot of good information in this to learn how to protect your motorcycle from thieves.

Great place for riders from beginners to advanced. Can’t say enough about the way the field guide has helped me and I really enjoy the forum. It has shown me to continue to practice and you never stop learning.

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.

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 enjoyed your videos for a while now, and this has probably unknowingly saved me from riding hickups. and maybe more. When I ride now, Kevin is constantly on the back seat. Turn your head in the direction you want to go. Leave more space with the car in front of you, move to the right to see ahead of the traffic… as I have free loaded the video for a while, I have decided to become a patron. the $5 a month won't make any difference to my bank balance but might well save my life. If you enjoyed Kevin ‘s video and think they are contributing to your better riding skill. join as well. This is now his job and we should financially appreciate it and keep it going. See you all on the road.

Your channel should be mandatory training for car drivers, not just riders.

Kevin, you are a great inspiration and a wonderful teacher. I appreciate you.

I am a new and old (66) rider. The MCrider videos, forums, and field guide have taught me so much about what I need to know to ride safely. And how to use that knowledge to practice and develop my skills.

The Forums include invaluable practical comments from both riding instructors and long-time riders.

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!

Hey Kevin. Just letting you know I’ve been watching and practicing your videos for 2 years. You saved my butt last night man. Typical story. Big deer just standing in road, 45 mph, emergency braking, started skidding, balance of front and rear brakes and allow bike to do what it does to come to controlled slow. Keep it up sir. You’ll never know how many lives you saved because the wreck never happened.
