Thank for your vids l'm in Zimbabwe they have changed my riding skills

Knowledge is power. If you know what to do and what not to do, and understand the reasons why you are far ahead of most riders.

This MCrider platform is knowledge, in-depth knowledge that you can use out on the road on a daily basis. What a great place for all motorcyclists to gather at their own pace, at their own skill level, plug into a riding community, and study, which helps them understand safer riding. Kevin has hundreds of in-depth videos for every rider's level.

The forums have thousands of riders sharing experiences worldwide that we can all learn from. It also features many rider coaches and instructors sharing even more knowledge! How to increase your riding skills, but how to use safe road strategy so you are not having to use those superior riding skills! I follow several YouTube motorcycle channels but this one is by far the most comprehensive, and the best of the best! Thank You, 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.

Many thanks, as a newly qualified rider I really enjoy watching your videos. Even though I'm from the other side of the pond (Yorkshire, UK) your advice is just as useful over here.

…your channel is a “School” I can attend and learn many riding skills and information that it would take years to gather. I have always been taught to seek out the experts if you want to learn. For me, when I ride I remember the videos and information that I have learned. You really have an impact on my riding and that has helped me tremendously.
