Getting a knee down on…

Aug22019

This week on MCrider we look at extreme body position on a motorcycle and getting a knee down. Is this an important skill for the street rider to develop?

I’ve been riding on and off for most of my 64 years. After being away for the last 10 years I found a used cruiser for sale and started doing research on the internet for accessories and other parts. The YouTube algorithm brought me to MCRider and I’ve been immersed ever since – finally becoming a member just a few days ago.

I’ve never met a more open and welcoming community! The depth and breadth of knowledge is amazing. The instructions are clear, concise, and to the point. Support and answers to your questions are at your fingertips.

If you’re considering joining the community don’t hesitate. You can spend a little now to avoid spending a lot later. As they say – an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

“MCrider is simply the best online resource for motorcyclists striving for excellence in their riding skills and strategy. The forum community has depth and diversity of experience that expresses humility and wisdom not often found on the internet. I often refer to MCrider training concepts with my own students.”

This is the first videos I’ve seen from him. As an accomplished law enforcement motor instructor, he knows what he’s talking about. I would refer people to his page.

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

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.

MCRider will change and possibly save your motorcycling life.

After a 15 yr break I decided to get back into riding, I’d never had formal instruction (dirt bikes as a kid) and it showed when I rode with my wife, who I had insisted get training. She was more technically proficient than I was because she had only learned the right way. I started watching videos and some were good some weren’t but when I found Kevin’s MCRider videos I knew I’d found the series of instruction I needed.

Within a few weeks of practicing skills from his YouTube channel, I decided I really wanted to support what he was doing and I became a Member of MC Rider and that unlocked a whole additional resource. If you're looking to improve your motorcycling skills in an extremely supportive community, you found the place.

Kevin—soothing demeanor; calm, cool, collected, articulate, methodical, and precise. Thank you SO much for sharing your keen insight, experience, and in-depth knowledge. You're a treasure to the motorcycle community!
