Why MCrider?
Too many riders in the United States and beyond simply buy a motorcycle, learn some of the basics, and hope for the best. As an instructor of motorcycle classes in the Dallas / Ft. Worth region of Texas, Kevin has seen many experienced and new riders take a motorcycle safety course and vastly improve their riding skills. However, their new skills are often not internalized and bad habits are not permanently broken in a one or two-day motorcycle class. The techniques learned in a motorcycle safety class will be quickly forgotten if they are not practiced and reinforced on a regular basis.
Not only are riders forgetting what is learned by not reinforcing their newfound skills, but some statistics say that at least 50% of riders have NEVER taken a motorcycle instructional course. These riders develop many bad habits, putting themselves and others in danger on the road.
Kevin has dedicated hundreds of hours crafting his own skills, passing them on to others, and enjoying the fruits of his hard work from the seat of a motorcycle. But many riders will never hear the message because they are not enrolling in a class and even when they do the class is limited to six to eight riders.
Thus was created MCrider.com: free online motorcycle classes offered to anyone who wants the challenge to improve their experience on two wheels.
