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

Herbert C Bracy

Great advice thanks for sharing this with us. Safe riding.👍🇬🇧

Dave Evans

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.

Fredo Rico

Good Job Kevin always learn something from you and your hard work to keep us safe

George H. Parker

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!

Kevin, I came to your channel 18 months into McRider being live and was hooked immediately. All the safety tips and the way you explained the techniques, along with miles and miles of practice, help me go from a novice rider on Feb 2018 to a Ridercoach Candidate just a year later. You were one of the reasons I became a motorcycle trainer, and have to confess, I've used some of your tips on my classes from time to time. Congratulations and see you on the road!

Returning to motorcycling after a two decade hiatus, I didn’t even know the right questions to ask. As I immersed myself in my new owners manual, I had more questions. MCRider has established itself as the go-to web site for the developing rider in all of us. The first, most important lesson I learned from everyone is their desire for my success. In a world where too many are seeking another’s failure, failure on two wheels is a failure of the teacher AND the student. Every members thoughts an opinions are oriented towards success and safety for each other. Here I found the confidence to put my leg over a GoldWing and succeed in taming a potentially wild horse into an extension of my desire to ride well and see everyone on the road, wherever they may be. For now, I learn. Soon, I shall be the teacher because of MCRider.
