So you are in the market for a safe motorcycle helmet. You look on the back and see a DOT sticker…it must be one of the safest helmets since it has a DOT sticker. Right? Not so fast. This week on MCrider we will talk about it and what to look for to find a good motorcycle helmet in your budget.

Let's discuss this on the forums.

I’ve been riding for 50 years and I’m still learning, there’s always something to learn.

Kevin, thanks for all the advice you have published along with others on youtube, I am 64 and with all the advice it has given me the great opportunity to be a better rider every time I am on the road! THANKS!

Really appreciate you!!! I’m 53, about to start 3rd season of riding… Your guidance rings clear and true in every video. Feeling grateful.

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.

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.

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!

LOVE the new site Kevin. As a new (returning) rider and IT guy, it is MUCH appreciated, especially the mobile optimization. That is so important these days and perfect for parking lot training. BEST DAMN MOTORCYCLE CONTENT ON YOUTUBE!
