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’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!

I have been an MCRider subscriber and member for about two years. I was a returning rider and just purchased a used Harley Davidson Street Glide. When I came across the MCRider videos on YouTube. Your video instructions and lessons have made me a better rider and a safer rider!

This winter my wife purchased me a newer to me bike, she knew I just never really enjoyed the touring bike especially when we were both on it. She mentioned if I would get her a bike she would love to learn to ride. So we purchased her a bike. I told her she had to take the MSF basic course. I wanted her to have a head start before we got to class end of June. The field guide has been the perfect tool we had spent about 4 hours in parking lot before I couldn’t contain her anymore and she wanted on street. Thank you again for the field guide it has improved my riding and helped her get a great start. We have a cool routine where we do some parking lot field guide maneuvers and then do a ride. Thanks for all you do Kevin.

Your channel should be mandatory training for car drivers, not just riders.
